When I was in school, at the time he was the governor of Texas, ... Sometimes he would work out in our weight room. I had a chance to talk to him a couple of times. I was lifting, he was just riding a bike. I think he's a nice person.
No, I don't talk to Leigh about money.
I talk to Ronnie two or three times a week,
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
We talk about life, we talk about our philosophies. He always sends me books. It's a different kind of relationship.
I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn't feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went.
When we face adversity, we don't crumble. That's what we should be excited about. Wins come when you deal with adversity well.
When he first got drafted, you heard people wonder why you'd take a No. 2 pick for a guy that didn't even start in college,
I was expecting to hear more boos. I was pleasantly surprised.
It felt great just to come out here and get a few more touches, being in pass situations, reading the defense and just feeling the tempo of the game. It felt real good. I am definitely comfortable with the offense. I feel like I'm coming along well. I'm looking forward to next week (against Houston).
It doesn't seem like I was gone, not even a week,
I tell people I was a caterpillar locked in a cocoon when I was in New Orleans, but now I feel like I finally have my wings.
went through 20 pounds on a vegetarian diet?
I was away for a year and I seem to be feeling all right, ... I think I should be all right.
