“That's my goal: to be on the field as much as possible so I can make as big of an impact as possible.”
“Whoever picks me up, I'm going to try and play my best for, to be the best player on the field at any given time.”
“You'll see me everywhere, inside, outside. Only place you won't see me is maybe safety.”
“I can never get tired of helping people.”
“Just to see how much time is consumed looking down at your phone when you could be reading, becoming better at your own language, or learning a new language - you could be doing so many productive things. You could becoming a better student-athlete.”
“I can't be a savior. But I can be the best I can be.”
“Don't let anyone be close to how good you are, no matter what the division is - one, two or three. It doesn't matter, everyone plays football. It doesn't matter who the competition is.”
“If there's the opportunity to turn things around, that's what great players do. They don't complain or become complacent with losing. They just go back to work every day and try to turn things around and make wherever they are a great place to be.”
“It doesn't matter who picks me up, I'm going to try and be a franchise player for them.”
“Nobody is 100 percent every play, you know - eight, nine plays down the drive. Sometimes you do look back at it and say, 'Dang, I could have gave more effort there, or I loafed it a little.' But you work on those things.”
“I'm just gonna make plays and bring a good atmosphere to your organization.”
“I've just been competitive all my life. That draws from a competitive family. We're all athletes, and we're all trying to win no matter what it is, whether it's Scrabble or basketball.”
“I don't want to have to be taken out because I'm tired or I need a breather.”
“I'm not great until I'm the best.”
“It does not matter if I have 10, 12 sacks: I want better, and I want more.”
“If I can get some time off and still be productive and go 85-90 percent of the plays, that's fine with me.”
“I want the single-season sack record.”
“You have to have some fun playing this game.”
“Make sure, if you're willing to say something, that you worked hard enough and prepared well enough to back those things up.”
“From the very beginning, I wanted to be the best, whether it was sports or poetry.”
