“I'll never publish my individual goals.”

“I knew I wanted to get my teeth straightened eventually in life.”

“It doesn't matter if we're on vacation or where we are. I'm going to work my butt off.”

“Early on when J.J. first started blowing up, I didn't know how to handle it, but now definitely I love it. My brother is the best defensive player to ever play the game, in my opinion.”

“You can't rush the passer scared.”

“That's the hardest thing about the NFL is anybody can have a great game at this point. It's just about stringing together a band of great games.”

“You're seeing so many more mobile quarterbacks. I mean, each and every year it seems like some teams are converting from a traditional pro style to a mobile quarterback.”

“What I have learned is as you get older, you are always evolving.”

“A great pass rush is all four guys up front working together.”

“I believe if you write it down it's more likely to stick in the memory.”

“I think everybody has to adjust to it. I don't know if anybody fully is prepared for zero-degree football.”

“Our cul de sac we always had roller hockey going on, we had the big backyard, our neighbors had big backyards that connected all the backyards, and we had football, baseball, anything you can imagine. And then, in our basement, we had a real-size hockey net, we'd go down and shoot hockey before dinner.”

“There are so many people that don't love to practice, but when the game is taken away from you, you'll give anything to just be out there on the practice field.”

“I always want to play if I can.”

“My father instilled in me to always work as hard as I can, and if I do I can accomplish whatever I want. It's because he sees the potential in me. He always has.”

“In my head, anything you put your mind to put your work to, anything is possible.”

“I approach football very personally and I dedicate my life to being the best football player that I can possibly be, the best teammate that I can be.”

“I'm always going to give a team everything that I have.”

“I just want to continue to be that guy that the other team has to account for and continue to grow my leadership role with the team and try to be as consistent as possible.”

“I know some of the guys, especially the younger guys, have a lot going on mentally. If they're in the spot to make a nice play, you can't forget it's very tough to make plays. When you make them, you have to celebrate.”
