"There's somebody out there getting up earlier than you. You gotta beat 'em.

I tell myself to work hard every day because, in my mind, everything's a competition. I compete with myself and with other people. Even when other people aren't pushing the way I'm pushing, I still gotta compete with myself."

"I stay locked in because at the next level, that's what you gotta do.

I'm getting everything in motion, you stretch on your own. Starting now, I'm trying to be healthy, trying to stay away from injuries. Going to PT. I know what I want in the end. I know what the goal is. I'm not getting too big-headed. The goal is the NFL, and I know I ain't there yet. I gotta keep going, keep getting ready, staying locked in."

"The best ability, is availability. My father always told me that.

If you want to be available you got to take care of your body. You got to do the little things. You have great weight trainers, great coaching staff, but if you're only doing the things that you're told to do, you're not going to be as prepared as a great player would be. Great players do things on their own, great players do things when nobody's watching."
