Now I have to be the best I possibly can now.

When I got out of my pouting phase and I don't want to do this, I want the sacks, I want the TFLs.

Once I got out of that mindset and really focused and locked in on learning how to be a two-gap nose tackle, it was lights, camera, action.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

At eight years old, you know, my father was in and out of the hospital.

when I was eight, my brother was 10.

You know, my mom was in and out of work.

Um, sometimes she wasn't working.

Um, and when times she was working, we all was taking care of my father.
