I love football, but being away from it is tough.
My main goal is trying to win the Super Bowl.
It ain't just one guy, it's a team game, and I'll get myself better, I'll keep working on my technique and trying to find ways to free myself and keep making plays.
It's the same thing I have been doing since I was 5, playing the game of football. Going out there when my number is called and trying to make plays.
When my name is called I'm going to go in there and give it everything I've got.
I'm always getting doubled; I just have to find ways to beat it. Can't use that as an excuse. Still got to get to the quarterback someway, somehow.
It's a whole different world once you get into games. You have people actually trying to hit you, the speed of the game's a lot faster, you have a lot of different things you need to check and see. It's a whole different world up there once game time comes.
Once you start worrying about things, you get down about yourself, whatever it may be.
I've got a good team, got great agents that I know are going to handle the business side, and I trust those guys.
All I can do is play football, put it on film.
It's my mindset that I'm not where I want to be. I still want to be better, and I just want to stay humble about it. It's not an act. It's just how I am.
I feel like I've got a lot of football things I need to work on to have that success that I want to have in this league.
Any time you go on the field, you want to dominate as a unit.
My senior year I felt I put a lot more time into the offseason to make a lot more happen. Going out my senior year, I felt like I did everything I wanted to do and more. I felt like I dominated and I feel comfortable going to the next level and that I'm ready.
I don't care if it was 2 o'clock in the morning after a night game. I had to break down the film by myself before I watched it with the team. I wanted to see everything I did wrong and did right or I wouldn't be able to sleep.
After games, you think about the play you missed.
We just have to try to play ball. We go week-to-week trying to find ways to win games. That is what it comes down to.
If anything, it just motivates me to work a little harder. Anytime your organization invests a big amount of money like that into you, you want to do everything and more to thank them.
My family, ain't no more struggling to pay this bill, pay that bill.
When plays present themselves, I can't miss 'em. I got to make 'em.
