Anytime I get the chance to play ball, I get excited.

Anytime you get a better competition level, it's always better for you because you want to get the best out of yourself, and you want to compete against the best.

Whenever I get a chance to get my reps in, that's a good challenge for me.

Whatever opportunity I get, to make sure I get better, I need to take advantage of that.

The best thing - I say it all the time - what happened at Oklahoma was sitting for a year after I transferred. To sit there and be able to focus on the physical parts of my body. You know, develop, and then the mental side of the game, learning.

It doesn't matter what cards you're dealt. It's what you do with those cards. Never complain. Just keep pushing forward. Find a positive in anything and just fight for it.

Cleveland, as a whole, is a great sports town. People love the Browns here.

That's the biggest difference from college to NFL. Everybody's so talented at this level, the difference is knowing the game - knowing where to go with the ball in my position, knowing how to execute your job to the highest level. In college, you could just get by playing ball.

You don't build a great castle just all at once.

Always been brutally honest. Some people don't like that because it's rare nowadays.

I want to be drafted to a team that knows exactly what they're getting.

Height doesn't matter. You see guys like Tyrod Taylor, Brees, Russell Wilson: they've proven that it doesn't matter.

You need to be competitive, but a lot of that you can internalize and use that as motivation to drive you. You do not need to show it all the time.

Life is a bunch of ups and downs. It's how you handle it.

I'm ready for any adversity that's going to hit.

If you can win ballgames, you can win ballgames.

I am a Cleveland Brown. I am proud and happy about that.

For me, being as competitive as I am, the bigger the challenge for me, the better for me.

There are spots that I have to hit. Throws I can't miss.

I was the undersized underdog who people never gave a chance. From that, the motivation to prove people wrong just grew and grew... Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't hit puberty until later.

I'm not ashamed to speak my mind. What you see is what you get. You're not going to get a two-faced person who is going to say one thing and mean another.

I've learned I can't change every opinion or have everyone's approval. If I get caught up in that, I'm worried about the wrong things.

You can focus on the few things that give people a negative image about me, or you can see the other things I've done, or talk to people in my inner circle who know more about who I really am.

My greatest moment in my whole career is when I became the first non-Brazilian to win the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championship. That was my greatest moment.
