Brent Celek is a heck of a blocker, James Casey is a heck of a blocker.
I love sports, and I'm a hugely competitive person.
That's something that I do pride myself on: making those tough and contested catches, whether it's in the red-zone or on third down.
I just focus on taking a deep breath, staying calm, and not trying to make the situation bigger than it is.
If I could get better on the field, I could get better in my interviews. I took that approach: if there's something I'm deficient in, whether it be in relationships, whether it be talking to people, just that self-reflection to seek people out who can help me.
My seventh-grade year, I played football. I was, like, 15 pounds overweight, so I had to lose a ton of weight. They put me at left tackle; they put me on the defensive line. I absolutely hated football. I didn't want to play again. Eighth grade year, I didn't play.
When you're blocking someone, or when you're running, it's all about putting force into the ground, and that's the epitome of the back squat.
It's awesome being married to Julie, being able to support the people we love doing what they love to do.
My wife Julie and I are driven to make positive and enduring change in our beloved city of Philadelphia, in California, in Haiti, and around the world.
I think you have to have a high football IQ. Obviously, you have to have the physical ability to run fast and get open. But you also have to have a high football IQ.
I just like going against the Redskins, I guess.
I take every rep personally. If somebody beats me, I'm going to take that personally.
It's not a goal of mine to only play 45 percent of snaps. It's to be on the field for every single play.
Glute bridges make sure my hips are staying in line. Making sure that I'm not putting added stress on the hamstrings, hip flexors, or groin. Being able to stabilize the hips is pretty much the center of playing football, so you can stay healthy.
I had a stutter when I was a young. I went to speech therapy.
If you're able to build something on a strong foundation, you're not going to be easily swayed.
I think the ultimate compliment that someone can give you is that you're a technician.
Who doesn't like a nice Belgian waffle?
