When the season ends, I like to take a little time off from the diet I follow when I'm playing.

When a 300-pound person like me is playing, I'm supposed to drink at least a gallon of water a day.

I think, growing up, I was seen as the perfect power forward. For a long time, I thought maybe I was supposed to be a basketball player.

It takes a little bit more mentally to figure out what I need to do to be most effective. The game is ever evolving. So you have to constantly pay attention to the change because you don't want to be left behind.

Being an offensive lineman, you always have the mindset of being an unsung hero - a lot of the people who look at the game follow the ball.

Players have an in-season playing weight, and we have to be careful not to stray too far from it when we're not under the watchful eye of the nutritionist. This can be a problem when the food isn't being prepared and regulated by our cooking staff.
