My rookie year was huge for me as far as the learning curve, especially those last three games.

My rookie year, I was very immature.

I think one thing I had going for me that a lot of rookies didn't is that we played 15, 16 games every year in college.

I did some good things as a rookie.

My anxiety has gotten worse as I've graduated and gotten older, and I still feel like 'Rookie' is a place where I can talk about that, and hopefully someone relates to it.

The idea that feeling confident and feeling misunderstood are mutually exclusive really bugs me. So a lot of what 'Rookie' is about is just showing that you can be both, and you can like whatever you want.

Every year I try and challenge myself more and more, whether it be acting or everything I do. I just want to try and be better than the year before.

I had the greatest year of my career in 2007. It's a year that I'm very proud of.

I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games.

I think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.
