Once you get into the NFL, it doesn't matter what draft pick you are, what round you are, if you're undrafted or not. It's football time again. The draft, all of that doesn't matter anymore.

I love my coaches. Coaches love me.
I think guys that play basketball really understand how to go up and get a ball. Because in a rebound situation, you've got to go up and fight for a ball. Just boxing out. There are a lot of things that transfer.
I'm really blessed to have an amazing family.
You troll me, I'm going to troll you.
It's everything to me. This is my life. I love football so much.
I really have a love and passion for football. I enjoy basketball, but it's not something I love. You have to let things go that are not for you.
Foot work, hand-eye coordination. There's a lot of things. If you just watch basketball, you can tell where it would help someone who's receiving the ball.
I kind of knew. I said, 'Yeah, I'm not going to be able to play in the NBA. That's just not going to happen. Let that dream go.'
Being 300-some pounds is not always healthy. You can say what you want about it, I don't want to do it.
I'm a normal person. You say something about me, I'm going to say something back, funny or not. I'm just going to be me. It's nothing against them. I'm just doing what you do to me.
I'm not trying to get in good graces of anybody. I just want to be myself and be the guy that helps out in the community, because that's who I am.
Sometimes I get emotional. I let my emotions get the best of me.
Being able to play basketball at a high level, adjusting to the ball in the air, quick feet, quick hands and all that stuff definitely translates to playing tight end in the National Football League.
It's one-of-a-kind, because some people would die to have the family I do.
My thing of not playing offensive tackle is the health issue. I don't want to be that big. That could end up not being good for your health.
I've played this game since I was in second grade, and there's nothing more important to me than playing football.
All I'm trying to do is be me.
