I came into this league by myself, and I'll leave by myself.

I was at 260 at Tennessee because I was playing three-technique.

My dad was around every second. Teaching me the game.

I go to movies. I blend in.

I know I'm going to make mistakes, but you try to minimize them. Don't make the same ones twice.

When I was in Denver, guys came into the team, and we started at a pretty high level.

Anything that's given to you can be taken away from you at any time.

I like to relax and get my mind off of business for a few hours.

I've got pretty good knowledge about pass rushing. But I know I have a lot to work on.

You come in to work, put that game face on, leave your problems at home, stay strong.

That's pretty much who I am. I like to get riled up. I feel like it brings the best out of me and the other guys.

I don't want to be a bust.

Growing up, my favorite pass-rusher was Julius Peppers. He was just a beast.

Almost went vegan, but no, I didn't go vegan.

That's your dream, to get paid and take care of your family. But you still want to win, too.

My priority is to take care of my daughter and my family.

The only bad thing is that we didn't win at Tennessee. Kiffin left that program in a bad position.

I don't want to subject myself just to one scheme. I think it's just if you can play, you can play no matter what scheme you play in.

The one thing you can control is effort.

I try to get in people's heads. My job is to get the ball, so if I'm talking trash to an O-lineman or quarterback or receiver, and they start thinking about me, that's good, because they aren't thinking about the game anymore.
