I was never a knucklehead off the field. I was a person who abided by the rules and had been an upstanding guy you could count on, and still am.

We willed this win. Our team is mature enough to recognize when a critical point comes up and we'll always make a play. We know when it's time to step up and make a play and that's what we did today.

We were calm and collected. We got together. We identified the problem and corrected it. We played the rest of the game.

I support the coaches 110 percent. They're Christian men. Whatever they say, I'll do. It's a lesson that everybody may learn. Everybody has their different lessons. Mine was that one.

It hurt me in the draft, because it kind of damaged my character and put me in a light that I don't want to be put in. Teams know I'm a good player. People that know me or get to know me know I'm a good person with character.

It's an exciting time. I'm mostly excited, and a little nervous in a way. I just feel fortunate that I'm in a position where I'm going to have an opportunity to play professional football. You never know where you're going to go until it happens, but I'm confident that I can play at the next level.
