moves speaks tight wide
You've got a tight end who can make moves like a wide receiver. When there's a linebacker on you, that's kind of a mismatch. That pretty much speaks for itself.
breed good labeled love tight
They all tell me they?d love to have me. I feel good about being labeled the new breed of tight end.
highly love speak
They all speak highly of me. They all say they would love to have me, but you never know.
beat figured good overall pro ready turn
I figured if I could beat this guy, and he's the 12th overall pick, then I had a good shot. I was ready to turn pro right then and there.
hard leverage stop takes
Jeremy's real aggressive. He doesn't stop going. You have to get leverage on him first. If he takes off before you it's hard to get him.
hear worried
I hear different things. I could be the No. 2 pick, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8. I'm not worried about that.
career college far gates good throughout watched
Antonio Gates is a good player. He's someone I have watched throughout my college career and I like the way he plays. But there are some things when I look at the guy, he does a little better than myself. And (there are) things I do better than him as far as speed, things like that.
hard-work want realizing
If you want success, you have to work hard at it and realize that it takes time; it doesn't come to you overnight.
feel-better men thinking
The only time I really get afraid is when something is affecting my family. But even then, I start to think about the Bible and the passage that says "you should fear no one, fear no man, but only God," and I feel better.
blessing thinking everyday
I wake up each and everyday happy because of all of the great things that I have going on in my life and I think about all of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me.
last
We're better than last year; we're way better.
