aware came cumulative defensive figure hawk high ohio people pushing saw seemed special state weight worked
A lot more people were aware of A.J. Hawk once he came to Ohio State and they saw him do things like that. But as we went through high school, it was solidified even more that there is something special about him. I think it was a cumulative kind of thing - the way he worked in the weight room, relentlessly pushing himself, and the way he seemed to figure in on every big defensive play.
lead matter might
You see that and you see you're going to have to play for 60 minutes. No matter what your lead might be, they can come back real quickly.
guys
No way. I don't like those guys too much.
came coming sort starting together year
A year ago we started out as individuals and sort of came together at the end. This year we're starting where we finished, and coming together as one.
attention considered credit kid pitfalls running
That's kind of one of the pitfalls of the position. You know when you're a young kid going into it that you're not going to get as much attention -- and as much credit -- as the quarterback and the running back. You become used to not being considered the mainstay people.

He always wants to be the best but then he'll never talk about being the best. It's pretty interesting.

He's got a lot of size, but he moves real quick, which is a bonus for him.
help moves
He's got a lot of size, but he moves real quick. That should help him out a lot at the combine.
balance taught
It taught me about balance and countering another guy's moves.
against best defend defense driving field good offense start tying work
We didn't make the best of our opportunity. We had turnovers that you can't have, especially as you start driving down the field at the end going in for the tying touchdown. We can't set up our defense so they have to defend against a good offense at the 1-yard line. We can't have that. Those are big things we've got to work on.
