The first time they throw me the ball.
It was weird at first but then it was kind of fun. I was just laughing and cracking jokes, being a cheerleader.
I couldn't have drawn it up any better.
He helped me understand where they were at in terms of the progression of the offense. If they had new plays, Charlie called me to tell me what plays they went over.
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.
It felt good to pretty much play the whole game. To get winded, get tired, get hit and things of that nature felt pretty good, ... I think everything went well. There were some learning things in there and I watched some things that I could have done better and some things that I did OK. ... Now we are ready to move forward and play Chicago.
He was a little surprised I called because it wasn't a big deal to him, and it wasn't a big deal to the organization so we just moved past it,
Young is a phenomenal athlete. You can obviously compare him to Michael Vick.
We're the older group on the field right now. To ease the transition, our job is to always 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
