The reason I wear it is to symbolize my brother. He's incarcerated right now. That's the number he wore, and I always wanted to wear it.

bad field intentions punish taught
I don't think you can be taught that. It's something that's just in me. When I get on that field, my intentions are to just go out there and try to punish people. Not in a bad way, but that's how I play football.

He makes so many big plays, and that's the thing we're going to miss most. He can do a whole lot.
