You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from. The speed, the determination, the mindset, just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, it all comes from my dad.

I don't do too much outside of football during football season, because this is my job and I take it seriously. I don't do too much, don't really go out at all that much, don't eat out or anything, try to stay focused and stay to myself.

If you're out there stressing on your pro day, then you're not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun.

There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.

That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.

You can be a catalyst for change but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
