I never let nothing ever get to me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Yeah, I think about the Hall of Fame.

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.

A lot of my success, and a lot of who I am now, is because of my dad, and the way he raised me and taught me how to have a work ethic.

I was a big Steelers fan.

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.

Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.

You never know what can happen.

It's what you work for and grind for. Just to get out there and play the game and try to help your team to win. And in doing that, you just help yourself.

Any time you go on the field, you want to dominate as a unit.

You never know what's going to happen in the draft. You just wait until your name gets called and then things happen.

You always want to have success, but you never think it will be as big as it is.

I've got leverage on a guy that's 6-6, and I'm strong enough to push 600-plus pounds off on a double-team.

Obviously you've got God-given talent to do things that a lot of people can't do but I actually put the body of work in to get stronger, get faster, trying to work on my technique, trying to do little things that people usually don't do, just trying to improve my game.

I'm just going out there and doing my job, so whatever it is - if it's a hard slide protection, if it's a double team, or even a triple team or a chip - whatever it is, I'm just finding ways to win, so that's about it.

I still want to make more plays, but you know it's going to come. You gotta keep playing, playing hard, continue to study, continue to get myself better, working on my technique, and it will come. Just gotta keep working.

It's definitely tough on the pass rushers when they say you're taking a quarterback down and you fall on top of them and it's roughing the passer. Ain't really much you can say, it's just tough.

I know you ain't gonna win every single one-on-one, but in my mind, I'm supposed to.

Like I always say, man, anytime you got playmakers around you it makes your job easier.

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.
