You only notice the good O-linemen on good teams. I could block my man to the dirt, but if we go three-and-out, who really cares?

I know I have an opportunity be considered great.

You want your name to mean something when you actually hang your cleats up.

So many people think that all players hate the media and vice versa, and that the media are trying to get something on the players, so it's good to show that that isn't the case.

That's always been my dream to be a great player and be a great coach.

I want to be like a wall, shielding my quarterback.

I see Ryan Kerrigan, he's like a kale head. He's eating kale three times a day.

When you get into the NFL, man, there's not too many words that can convince you to do your job better.

When you come in and you act like you know what you're doing and you look like you know what you're doing, everybody is going to assume you know what you're doing.

When you're playing o-line, it's like a roller coaster sometimes because one play can define how people look at you for an entire season.

I never really look at it past one year. I look at last year and my whole goal is to be a better player than I was last year.

You make 10 straight Pro Bowls, a lot of people would say you've put together a good resume.

Dealing with sports things, I hadn't really met a bunch of stuff I couldn't do. Golf was one of them. I couldn't sleep with that. I had to figure out a way to get better.

The college game and the NFL game is night and day.

Years back, I had Chris Samuels when I was in Washington as a mentor. I always wanted to return that favor.

I just want to be a vessel of what God has blessed upon me and just show others, whether you're a young offensive lineman or whether you're somebody having to battle with cancer, I just want you to be able to look at me and draw some motivation or relate to me in some type of way and see my battle and draw some strength from it.

I definitely do give thanks for every day that I'm here because I know how fragile life is. Regardless of your age, it all could change in the blink of an eye.

When tragedy strikes, everybody always thinks about the impact and whether you survive or not. Hardly ever do you think about how it feels to start from square one.

I take so much pride in the product that I put out there. I'm always concerned, I'm always nervous, I'm always anxious about football and playing.

My goal was to be a good teammate and put a good product on the field, and I think I did both.
