I really don't care about stats. I don't care about any of that stuff. I just care about performing each and every weekend and helping my team win ball games.
Deacon Jones grew up a street over from my grandfather, where I was raised.
My guy growing up was Deacon Jones from Eatonville, Florida, where I'm from.
I never met him. But just growing up where Deacon Jones did, he motivated me to be great, showing the NFL was possible.
I was once that kid that needed a donation - that needed help to go to camp because my mom wasn't able to pay for it.
I was a bass fisherman. I liked bass. That was my thing.
I owe a lot to Darren Perry. I don't think I'd be this far this early if it wasn't for him pushing me to run an extra second or showing me a play on film and telling me when I see it, that's the green light to go do it and don't be afraid to take that next step and take chances. That's what the game is about.
Judges have a hard job. It's not just putting someone in jail or slapping someone on the wrist and giving them a punishment, but it's protecting society as a whole.
My last name is all I have. I try to carry that to a high standard by setting high expectations.
It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.
I just want to give back and kind of be a resource for younger generations.
