“I'm a competitor, man.”

“Anybody knows, when you're focusing on your body, dieting is 90 percent of the battle.”

“The college game and the NFL game is night and day.”

“That's one of the things you work for, the respect from your peers, the higher-ups, your coaches, your front office.”

“I just want to be a vessel of what God has blessed upon me and just show others, whether you're a young offensive lineman or whether you're somebody having to battle with cancer, I just want you to be able to look at me and draw some motivation or relate to me in some type of way and see my battle and draw some strength from it.”

“If you just think football is as simple if knowing it's a run or a pass, you dismiss the knowledge you have to have to compete at a high level.”

“I feel like if I'm not playing Pro Bowl-like football, I think it'll be a letdown for me and my team.”

“I like sports, I like coaching.”

“Any time you block a guy 30 times, it's not always going to be perfect.”

“Sometimes I wouldn't eat breakfast before 1 P.M. games because I knew it would make me sluggish.”

“You only notice the good O-linemen on good teams. I could block my man to the dirt, but if we go three-and-out, who really cares?”

“You can chase money, but money only takes you so far.”

“People compete. Sometimes it gets heated, sometimes it doesn't. That's for when you're on the field.”

“I collect shoes.”

“When you're playing o-line, it's like a roller coaster sometimes because one play can define how people look at you for an entire season.”

“The more I looked into it, I realize that if you want to speed your metabolism up, you have to fuel your body. Once I picked breakfast up, I noticed a spike in my energy level throughout the day, which enabled me to work out longer and harder.”

“As soon as I entered this NFL, it was to be the best. I won't settle for being third best but having a lot of money. I want to be first.”

“I don't want to put an expiration date on myself, but as long as God blesses me to go line up and play football at a high level, then I'll be playing football.”

“Any time you get beat, you're going to feel a certain way. But you have to wipe it out.”

“I wasn't tall enough to play basketball. I hit my growth spurt in ninth grade, but I'm 6-5. That's point-guard height.”
