bunch gets stuck ups
You don't want to always put a bunch of sugar in you. Because your sugar gets high, it gets stuck in your blood, it gets stuck in your system. It makes you tired. You have the ups and downs.
advantage athletes education focused free given opportunity people school taking time upset
I don't think college athletes are given enough time to really take advantage of the free education that they're given, and it's frustrating because a lot of people get upset with student-athletes and say, 'They're not focused on school and they're not taking advantage of the opportunity they're given.'
games play upset
The edge came from the slights I've had throughout my life, the slights I have dealt with through the entirety of my life. It wasn't one day when somebody said something and that made me upset and now I'm over it. I'm not going to stop playing with an edge because that's what got me here. That's just how I play the game. I can't play any other way.
everybody gets
The playoffs, everybody gets a little frustrated. You lose, your season's over.
fit painted
To be painted a villain, you have to do something, I guess, evil or something heinous, and I don't know if I fit that description.
call family field football judge man thug worse
To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field - don't judge a person's character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family.
people
People don't talk much about my punt returns.
history
No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you'd like to witness history.
diploma school
My school almost lost its accreditation. If that had happened, my diploma wouldn't have been worth anything.
primarily school stanford
Luckily, I was blessed to go to Stanford and a school that was primarily focused on academics, so it was a blessing.
I think my game measures up pretty well to myself.
shutting
I like every aspect of defense; I enjoy shutting down the offense.
passionate
Giving a true speech, a true, passionate speech, is old-school football.
A lot of coaches have come up to me and liked the way I played.
