It was definitely a surprise. Just being invited in a huge honor. It means that someone out there likes me.

The practices are the important part, that's where all the scouts are. I had a great week of practice. I just went out there and competed. It was a lot of fun.

It's not 100 percent yet.

Life is all about rides. This is something I've always wanted. There have been hard bumps in the road that have got me down, but never got me off track. I'm just blessed.

It was a real good honor to get the invitation and be out there with guys at respected schools. It just meant that all the hard work I had put into football was paying off.

I am an innocent man. I'm ready to go to trial, your honor.
