When you're the third player (drafted) overall, you have to make plays like that. It was great to have my family, coaches and friends here.
We wanted to pay tribute to him for revolutionizing the position. He was the front-runner.
Michigan taught me a lot. It taught me a lot about maturity, accountability, dependability. And there were so many things to meet, having that number, things I would have earned. If I had went to Michigan and just worn 80 and had a good career, I wouldn't have fulfilled what I wanted.
When Gary made that interception, he let us know that we have to take advantage of our opportunity. This was our game to lose, not that this is a game in which we can win.
When I got into the end zone, I was so overcome with joy my mind went blank. I forgot everything my boys had showed me and I had to break down and celebrate with my teammates - the guys who helped me get there.
It was weird at first but then it was kind of fun. I was just laughing and cracking jokes, being a cheerleader.
Charlie would bring a little more life, because he's younger. He's younger and he has more spunk. He'd be excited and jacked out of his mind to play, so if he came in there, it would be just a different attitude in terms of excitement and energy level, because he's a young guy that would be getting a shot.

He's a professional. He knows a lot about the game and can give you a lot of insights. The great thing about him is that he provides a lot of detail. He never leaves anything out. After he explains something to you, you'd be an idiot to mess it up.
I'm happy that it was fixed. It could have went a different direction. I'm just happy to be healthy and back.
I just told them no one's going to jump with me. I told them I thought the play would work. I gave input and he listened and we were able to make a play.
I knew right away. To be honest, I hoped for the best. I prayed right away. But I knew as soon as I landed it was bad. I heard it buckle. I heard it crumble.
I'm on such an emotional high ... my adrenaline alone will carry me through it.
It's time for me to make plays, ... That's what it's time for.
