Athlete

I've been blessed to surround myself with good parents, and good people, and I think that's the secret: Surround yourself with people that are positive influences in your life that want to help and want to care.

The way I operate as a football player and the product that I put on the field in relation to the business that I conduct, I want it to be as tough as possible in practice so when I get into the games I've been there before.

If athletics wasn't an option, I'd probably work at like a surf shop in Hawaii on the beach, just dishing out surf boards.

I learned a lot of different offenses in this league.

I'm just trying to build a rapport with whoever is calling the play. That's my job.

I want to play good football for a long time.

I was huge Steve Smith fan watching him play for Carolina.

You want to make as many plays as you can just to help your team to get points on the board. If that happens you're going to naturally gain confidence.

I just love playing the game. I learned it from my father, and he taught me to play every play as hard as you can, whether it's a run or it's a pass. I'm not going to be able to play forever, so I might as well go all out when I am.

Here in Austin, Texas, we live in sort of rolling hill country. And I get on my mountain bike, just cruise the hills, get on the trails.

My dad is a high school football coach in Texas so I've been around this game for a long time.

My job is just to get open and catch the ball so I don't really focus on who the quarterback is. But I try to build a rapport with whoever is calling the plays.

Every team communicates differently. Every verbiage is different on each team.

I love every aspect of football, so getting out on the field is fun for me.

No question, I love the path I've taken.

As much as it hurts to work out after a game, it helps that much more.

I love playing special teams. It's fun, it's like 'Braveheart' sometimes but it's a lot of fun.

For me, if I wasn't going to get a full scholarship to go to school, I was going to go to the Army or Navy so I could avoid debt.
