I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.

When you step on the field, you want to be a starter. You want to be the person everybody looks to and says, 'If we need a play to be made, let's go to him.'

You have to step up when your number is called.

It's nice to be number one on the call sheet.

I just go out there and play. I don't know if it's being young and not getting calls, or some other circumstances. I'm just trying to make a play.

As far as starting or not starting, that means more to some players than others. And if it means more to someone else, I think you should let them start and just go out there and do your job when it's your turn.

Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.

I'm not someone who plays hard to get. This whole thing about 'Oh, let's exchange numbers' and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don't see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once.

It feels great, definitely feels great to have your number called and be a part of the offense.

Certain people who care about me a lot have said 'You don't play the game, and if you don't play the game, you don't get picked for the team all the time.
