I grew up playing basketball in the inner city of Seattle, and by the time I was a senior, I earned a full scholarship to the University of Denver.

My first bodybuilding competition was the 2003 NPC Northern Colorado, where I was a light-heavyweight weighing in at 192 lbs. I was very nervous, as it was my first real-life experience being a bodybuilder.

We all go through things in life, and it's just how you deal with it. Try to stay positive throughout the worst.

When it comes to personal appearance, people are quick to cast judgment on people who look better than them. It's part of the human inferiority complex.

Do cardio throughout the year at least three days a week for at least 30-40 minutes, whether it be first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or after a post-workout protein shake. Cardio won't kill your gains as much as you think; you'll see how much muscle you really have.

If you want something you've never had before, you gotta be willing to do something you've never done before.

We have to know how to eat right, train right, and take the right over-the-counter supplements.

I feel I play hard every time I step on the field.

I am stubborn and I am hardheaded.

You never can stay enough humbled.

I firmly believe I never had too much of an opportunity after I left Cleveland. I was behind Jamaal Charles at Kansas City. I didn't get too much playing time. I felt when I got in I did well. And then I was in Tampa and never really got to touch the field because of Doug Martin. He's pretty good.

As far as my athletic ability, I can pretty much do it all. You can put me at linebacker and I'll do a good job.

I want people to see I can do a variety of roles, not just tailback.

When I came to the NFL, I was just trying to make the team.

I had a tough career in college.

If I meet somebody and they ask me what position I play, I always just say an 'athlete' or that I do a lot of things.

The more versatile you can be, the longer you'll be in the NFL.

I love being a Cleveland Brown.

My high school didn't really have a good training program, so I did it on my own.

People just have no idea how strange and surreal a football life can be.

I'm a simple man and success doesn't go to my head.

I've kind of found out that things in life come full circle anyway.

That's where I began was special teams and it's probably where I'm going to end up is special teams. I try to embrace that and try to do the best I can at it.

I'm just trying to go out and do what I can to help the team win.
