Any time I'm healthy I feel like I'm the best defensive player in the NFL.
Mark my words: If Shaun Rogers is healthy, he'll be the NFL defensive player of the year.
I've always thought of myself as the best defensive player in the league, and I want to play like the best defensive player in the league.
I feel like I am the best defensive player in the league.
If you're a great defensive player, you're a great defensive player 100% of the time. You can't be a great defensive player half of the time because you didn't get the ball once or twice. That can't sidetrack you. It's got to be 'I live for my defense, and my offense I'll get. But I can't let it affect my defense. Nothing affects my defense.'
You have to use your mind n the NFL. Every player is smarter. Defensive backs bluff and disguise coverages to try to fool you.
We all know that the NFL is the best of the best, and there's great competition across the board, so any time you're hurt or something like that, and another guy gets his opportunity, he's going to try to make the most of it.
Patrick Peterson, obviously, is one of - it depends who you talk to - is the best, or one of the best, corners/return guys in the NFL. You just turn the film on and you're like, 'Wow, that guy plays corner? He looks like a linebacker and runs a 4.1' or whatever. He's a great player.
In order to be one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL - which I am - it's doing things that other people aren't willing to do.
I don't wanna be labeled as just a defensive player or a rim protector or someone who can dunk. I feel like I can do everything.
Mike Webster's death was significant. Iron Mike. The best center in the NFL. Nine-time Pro Bowler. Hall of Famer. Four Super Bowl rings. He had played in more games - 220 of them - than any other player in Steelers history.
It's a part of my lifestyle to be healthy and eat healthy. I don't feel like I need to be like, 'You can't have this. You can't have that. You have to have this. You have to have that,' because then I feel like I will get inconsistent. I indulge when I want to, but try to be healthy every single day, too.
I feel like in the NFL, they preach loyalty and family and they have none for you. As a player, you see it's not a family during negotiations, how it becomes them versus me or me versus them. That's part of the NFL I believe the fans don't see.
LeBron James is the best player, hands down. He is easily moving into the territory of one of the best players of all time and may end up being the best player of all time.
Many players don't need trust to be a good defensive player, but for me it's huge that the coaching staff believes in me and are putting me on the best player.
I learned to never say never and never say no, so I decided to go pro. I knew I'd have an opportunity to be a defensive player in the NFL.
I feel like I can be a great defensive player when I put my mind to it for the whole game, not just half the game.
