"I took my time to learn how to walk. I crawled. Now I'm standing up and willing to help another teammate out. We all have got to wait our turn.

"Losing my father and then losing my coach, it was two big boulders that landed on me. I'm not really relieved from everything. It's still a struggle every day, trying to do what I'm here to do. Football has been the way out for me, and I'm blessed to have the gift that I have."

"I have an imagination of how it's going to be. It's going to be fundamentally sound, a lot of unmissed tackles, things like that. It's going to be Linebacker U, really what we're known for."

Linebacker U? We like the sound of that!
