Every day I went to work at Tampa, I gave it my all.
Julius Peppers is a beast, man. I dont know how many pounds he outweighs me by... I still try to do things like him to make my game better.
Back home in South Carolina, you have a lot of little soul food restaurants you can run to and get some quick, decent food.
Coach Morris wasn't too hard on me, not at all. Being drafted where I was at, there were high expectations for me. I still have high expectations for myself.
I met with Coach Bowden and he gave me some good information. I believe another year will also give me a chance to be a higher draft choice.
It's like, that man's playing his heart out, and we have to do the same thing. Younger guys see that and understand how they have to play the game.
I feel a whole lot better. I got this off of my chest and I'm just trying to move forward right now.
