I love competing.

I do respect a man who doesn't settle.

My dad taught me to work hard and to be the same guy every day. If that's going 100 miles per hour and working hard, then that's what I'll do.

I think that's just the way football is supposed to be played, at a high speed.

I'm a worker. I'm a grinder.

I've dealt every day of my life with my dad's career, the comparisons to him, with people wanting me to live up to him. I just put that stuff out of my head, I don't even hear it after awhile - I just turn my ears off.

My dad and I shared a lot of football memories.

If teams focus on me, that will allow my teammates to make plays.

The great thing is my dad was OK with whatever I wanted to do. He always supported me, and once I showed I was serious about football, that's when he really started to get involved and give me pointers.

Baseball was always my favorite sport, and I thought it would be the sport I'd pursue for the long term. But I guess about my sophomore year in high school, I started really getting into football, and then it just took off from there.

I don't know that I've gotten to the point where people know me more than my dad or that I ever will or even want to get to that point.

There's no secret about it: Every team does things differently. Seattle runs their program one way. New England runs it another way. Philly runs it another way.

I've noticed that right tackles have gotten better in pass pro throughout my career.

I'm very proud of my dad. To me, there are comparisons, but there aren't comparisons. We kind of play two different positions. He's a Hall of Famer, I'm not a Hall of Famer.

I like having my dad around.

Even when I was being recruited here to the University of Virginia, a lot of people in my own community didn't think I was Division I football material because I played at a small private school.

There are always more people to prove wrong.

One thing I take pride in is that I never cracked and stopped playing hard. There's something to be said for that, because life doesn't always throw the best situations at you.

I was a Panthers fan growing up, being close to Carolina.

It wasn't like I loved football from 12 on. It took time.

Football, for me, wasn't a foregone conclusion. My parents didn't force me into it, and quite the opposite happened.

If I never got cut, I wouldn't have the Super Bowl ring.

Playing eight years, never making the playoffs, you feel like you're running on a treadmill that's going nowhere. You're like, 'Is this it? Is this all football is?'

I do believe that clean water is the most efficient way to change the world.
