My dad and I would watch Ray Lewis a lot. His tenacity, and he was everywhere. I wanted that mindset, too.

I know myself and Ray Lewis have similar builds. People say what they want to, but (Savage) was one of the people who actually had say in bringing Ray Lewis in (to Baltimore). So when he said that I reminded him of Ray I felt good.

I know my dad always wanted to heal the world, and so I think it would be great to follow in his footsteps.

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

And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that's what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet.

The Ravens were the only team I would have come back for because of these two guys, Ray [Lewis] and Corey [Fuller], and no one else,
