When I got into the end zone, I was so overcome with joy my mind went blank. I forgot everything my boys had showed me and I had to break down and celebrate with my teammates - the guys who helped me get there.
Some fathers and sons don't get along that well when they're younger because they can't find a way to reach each other, ... A father loves you dearly but you don't see it and so you're always trying to please your father, but your father doesn't let you know how he feels, which is, you don't have to please him because he already loves you.
When you're the third player (drafted) overall, you have to make plays like that. It was great to have my family, coaches and friends here.
We wanted to pay tribute to him for revolutionizing the position. He was the front-runner.
When Gary made that interception, he let us know that we have to take advantage of our opportunity. This was our game to lose, not that this is a game in which we can win.
We have so many guys who can make plays. We worked on getting a hard outside move because they like to go with the first move. We worked on it so much it became second nature. It was just like practice.
When you get drafted this high, you want to prove that you're not a bust, ... You want to prove that it was worth their while.
We're the older group on the field right now. To ease the transition, our jobÊis toÊalways be in the right spot, so the quarterback doesn't have to find us, and to never show disgust with the quarterback on the field, because the fans and the media will see that and start to criticize him, and by the same token lower his confidence.

I'm on such an emotional high ... my adrenaline alone will carry me through it.
I'm happy that it was fixed. It could have went a different direction. I'm just happy to be healthy and back.
They want to take the most cautious route possible. There is still a lot of football to be played. As a competitor, I feel I can go now, but it's not up to me. It's up to the healing. Once the possibility of something happening diminishes, that's when they'll let me play.
It's time for me to make plays, ... That's what it's time for.
It talked about the kind of man that he is and as a player you always want this kind of coach. You always dream to play for this kind of coach.
