The best thing for you to do is to be healthy, make sure your body, your temple is the best thing that you take care of. You’re physical, you’re bound to go over that limit sometimes, put yourself in crazy positions or make crazy hits or make crazy plays. If you’re going to be physical it’s a limit you’ll take yourself to. I want to make sure I’m always healthy, one step ahead.Įvery second of the day you have to take care of your body. After I started taking care of myself, making sure my body is right, that I can feel right by what I eat and what I drink and what I consume helped me feel better as a player, gave me a little more energy. The best thing to do for a team is to be available, so the more you make yourself available, you add to the team. They always tell me for the profession that you do, your body is your job. I just listen to older guys, people I know that are already in the league, listening to my college coaches. I HAD TO PUT BIGGER EMPHASIS ON NUTRITION/MY BODY I could say some pains and sometimes you get cut and stuff like that you don’t feel it because your body is immune to it. Sometimes you get nicked up in practice, don’t realize it until the next day, till you’re taking a shower later that day. Every tackle has its own energy, emotion behind it. Just the physical part I feel will always be there, that’s never going to go away.īut a couple of hits, even on some regular tackles, you get up, have to check yourself, look at a little spot, make sure it isn’t broken.

I’ve always been a physical guy, even in Little League I played linebacker. I’m a physical guy, so I feel the physical part comes naturally. But I just felt coming into this season and actually being able to play corner, stay out there for the whole game, I had a lot to prove.

Wasn’t hateful, I enjoyed it, I’m truly blessed and I appreciate everything. Being at Georgia, being in the box, being in the position I was in.
