I'm a role model.

When a role model tells you it's going to be OK, it's going to be OK.

In this game called football, we don't know who's going to the playoffs.

I just want to go out there and play to my full potential, and play a healthy season, know what I'm saying?

I am a great pass rusher. I'm not saying, 'Do you think you can be?' I know I am. I am.

I don't vote.

I don't have a go-to move, man; I just rush.

Not every pass-rush move is going to work to perfection, so therefore, you've got to figure out what's best for you.

I don't like Philly. I don't care at all about Philly.

I just do my job; I'm out there to make plays and play football.

When it comes to the Cowboys, I always play great against them.

When I'm on the field, family-wise, family matters, whatever off-the-field issues, I'm not worried about.

USF gave me a chance to show what I can do.

I'm going to keep rushing the ball until the whistle blows and it's the end of the game. That's how I'm going to keep playing.

What I bring to the table to help my team is that I'm never going to quit.

My dad never quit no matter what. He couldn't see, but he never let that stop him. Most people, when something like that happens, they just think their life is over. But that's not true. My dad can still do things like a normal person. He still cooks; he still watches my sister and my brother's baby when my mom's not home.

I want to get to the quarterback and stop the run.

I had a job to take care of my parents, to take care of some bills at the house, because my daddy wasn't working. I had to figure out how to make that all work at one time. I was working at Boston Market... I told my coach, 'I can't play football because I have to make money to help my mom.'

We moved from place to place, and it was hard to adjust to different schools. But we made it.

My mom and dad taught me a lot. They kept me out of trouble and told me to go a better route. They taught me how to be a man, basically.

I had a lot of different jobs.

We had bills to pay. My dad wasn't working, and it was tough for my mom. People were always raising the rent, so I had to work, too. Everybody in the house worked to pay the rent.

Coming from a home like I did, I learned a lot about work ethic and determination.

The bottom line is I'm a football player, and I played three years of college football, and I produced all three years. I also got better every year, and I just felt like it was time to move on.
