He sounds like very down-to-earth guy who's willing to give it all for his team. Some notable quotes that stood out to me:
Who's the most famous athlete you've ever met in person?
I would say the guy right here, Aaron Rodgers. I just told him today I'm glad he's on our team. Playing against the guy, to see the things he can do, he's so calm and collected. It's natural to him, and it's just amazing to me. He will be one of the best quarterbacks to play the game.
Outside of anything in sports, what's your proudest accomplishment in life?
Graduating college with my degree. I didn't really deserve to go, because in my past experience in high school, I didn't have the right grades and courses. But I thank the Lord for giving me a second opportunity, and I give all the glory and honor to Him for that.
Was there a football player you idolized growing up? Why him?
Yeah, Reggie White. He was a minister off the field, and being that my dad's a pastor, and I'm a devout Christian, I'd like to play just like him. To do the things he did, play football and still hold up the Lord's name.
What do you want Packer fans to know about you as a person?
That I love Packer football. I want them to know that I love it here and I want to help the team win a Super Bowl.
