As your body deteriorates, your natural talents start to go a little bit. You have to bring in physical working out, building, taking protein and doing extra stuff.

Basketball was always my first love, but once I had a good year as a senior, I figured the next step was to play college football.

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.

I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.

My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.

Usually when we lose a game is because we turn the ball over or not play well enough and usually it is the turnover thing. We have to take care of the ball. It is starts with me and not turning it over.

Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.

It's an honor to be compared with Terry Bradshaw. If I could do half of what he did, I'd be very happy.
football winning mvp
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
