I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I prefer to play inside linebacker.
It really doesn't matter to me whether it's defensive end or linebacker. I just want to play the game of football. I've been working on linebacker drills since I got out to Fischer Sports in Phoenix.
Ray Lewis, I've grown up watching Ray Lewis. Just watching his intensity, his passion for the game, his love for the game, his work ethic. Everything in a linebacker that you want to be is in Ray Lewis, from leadership qualities, all that.
I've tried to bring the mentality of the outside linebacker to the inside and the rough, tough style of an inside linebacker to the outside. The middle linebacker always has been known as kind of a big plugger. Outside guys are known to be able to run. I just try to make big plays wherever I am.
I like to play football. I'm an aggressive player and also a leader.
Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green - these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder.
I don't really pick my opponents.
I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker.
I like my kind of innate and natural ability in the pocket, and ability of anticipation, and all that stuff that's important when it comes to playing quarterback.
I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.
