What are your goals beyond football?
To go into advertising or marketing. I'm looking to get into a career that I feel I'm successful, and I enjoy doing.
What are your hobbies?
Photography, hang out, play video games and play with my cat. I've been playing a lot Halo (the video game).
What historical figure would you like to have a dinner conversation with?
God. I'm a Christian. It would be interesting talking with him, not just to ask the standard questions. It would be neat.
What would be served at that dinner?
That's a tough one. I love eating. Outback Steakhouse. We'd get a Bloomin' Onion.
Since it's an election year, Bush or Kerry?
I would be an undecided. I might be leaning a little toward Bush. It's hard watching the debates. Both bring up good points about the other. Bush has been here for four years. He made some controversial decisions, but he's done some good things, too.
Who was your biggest influence in your life?
I'd like to say God, but I'm not sure. It's probably a mix of Him and my family.
What's was your childhood fear?
I didn't like heat. I didn't like the oven, or anything that was hot to touch. That and not being able to see things, like at night. I wear contacts. I'd wake up at night and couldn't see. That really upset me.
What's something not many people know about you?
I'm a nice guy. People tell me I've changed their perspective about football players. I'm not the stereotype of people have of football players.
What's your pet peeve?
Little bugs on my face. I don't like that flying around me.
What's your guilty pleasure?
Potato chips. I love just about any type of chip there is. That and Buffalo wings.
