Julius Peppers is probably 6'7 and 300 pounds. The great players spend all year round training for 16 games. It isn't fun being on the receiving end.

I'm just trying to pick up as much as I can every day.
best both either good indicative jump learn players stuff trying
I'm just trying to go out there and play as good as I can. That's not indicative of either of those two guys. They're both really good players, and some of that stuff wasn't their fault. They're good players and I'm just trying to jump in and learn as best I can.

I'm excited, definitely. I'm just going to try to go out there and play. I'll miss some stuff, I know, but I'll hit some stuff, too.

I've always been a fan of the SEC, ACC, down south. I never was a real big fan of Texas. It's not that I don't like them, but I grew up a Florida State fan.

My dad was my coach in baseball and early on in basketball, so playing baseball was something we always did.

I really like 'Gladiator.' I like 'The Dark Knight.' I really liked, when I was a kid, 'U.S. Marshalls.' I like funny movies, too. 'Old School' and 'The Hangover.' 'The Hangover' was up there; I liked it.
We don't want to get hurt, and it's relaxing.
