That's what great players do: continue to prove themselves.

You don't want to have any negativity in your life. Continue to push. Continue to be patient. And when your time comes, then you've got to do everything you can, that's all.

I wanted to go to the underdog team - I wanted to build something somewhere like a lot of the other guys who stayed home at Maryland, like Vernon Davis and players like that. I wanted to stay home and do it in front of my family and my friends... Those thing matter to me.

Each day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.

I believe in my ability and my mental toughness.

Being away from the game you love so much, it will mess with your mind.
