Everyone knows with a rookie, you're going to take lumps. Even with a first-, second-, third-year guy, you're going to take lumps until you gain that experience. But for me, it was nice to get out there and get the experience and do it. I'm a guy that has to do it.

When I got to college, my coach let me handle everything, from calling the plays to changing protections to checking in the run game. He let me do absolutely everything at the line.

I'm very much into legacies.

I broke my back, I broke my ankle. I didn't cry then.

Let's go fix problems that I have and let's do what I need to do to win championships.

If we win every game, that's all I care about.

Obviously it's hard to lose a coach; that's not fun for anybody because you care about him and you have a relationship with him. But as players, we just have to keep moving on.

I still think having an older brother in the NFL is the coolest thing ever. But to see how it went down is sad.

I love Raider Nation. There's nothing like it.

The game has slowed down for me. It's so much easier than it was. I feel like I see things better, and I can take advantage of what I see.

At any moment, any second, my football career could be taken away, but my faith and relationship with God will never be taken from me.

I'm a Raider for life.

I just want to be someone who loves his family more than he loves to drink.

Too many times I see kids come up to me, especially at the high school age, and say, 'Man, it would be cool to play in the NFL just because of the money.' And I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, you are missing everything, because money is not going to make you happy.'

For me, if I didn't have my faith, the game gives you a lot of highs and a lot of lows.

I believe God gave me talent to play this game, and I'd be sacrificing those gifts if I didn't give my best every single day.

My only focus was to be the best version of myself.

I just want to win. I want to mess up the draft. I don't want the first pick.

The best thing that you can do is show up every day and give it everything that you have, because anything outside of that is out of your control.

It makes you hungry every time you see another team celebrate a championship.

When things are tough in training camp; when things are tough in season; when it's good, you don't want guys hitting too high or too low or depressed. It's just draining for everybody.

I want to be perfect at everything, knowing I'll never be perfect at it, but that's my goal.

It's the same mindset I had in college. As long as I come in and work every day, it worked in college and I'm just going to continue to grind my tail off here in the NFL.

When I put my helmet on, I'm ultra competitive, talking trash.
