MALIK JACKSON

You can't say somebody is a bust if they're making plays and running to the ball.

I'm someone that speaks with their pads.

My priority is to take care of my daughter and my family.

I'm built for whichever scheme they put me in.

Growing up, my favorite pass-rusher was Julius Peppers. He was just a beast.

You come in to work, put that game face on, leave your problems at home, stay strong.

If I can go out there and be everywhere on the field, that's what I can control.

I was at 260 at Tennessee because I was playing three-technique.

You can't be wrong in the three-tech position. I like that. It allows a lot of freedom.

When you get your opportunities, you've just got to go with what they said... I'll do what's necessary wherever they put me.

I liked to be around my friends, but my dad was out there, day in and day out.

Going 3-13 is not acceptable.

I'm pretty low-key and try to do fun things.

My dad and I would watch Ray Lewis a lot. His tenacity, and he was everywhere. I wanted that mindset, too.

You just try to learn and see what you can put in your repertoire, and that's what I try to do.

We're all grown men, and we all have our ways of handling our problems. I'm not secretive, but I don't really talk about things.

I love the Broncos for helping me out, but it's a business, and that's how I feel about it.

I know I'm going to make mistakes, but you try to minimize them. Don't make the same ones twice.

Everybody's fast and strong, but to go out there and throw pass-rush moves or be able to do something different on the run to get them off balance. Anybody can run into somebody, but if you can shake them a little bit at the line, that's what's helped me out as a player.

Almost went vegan, but no, I didn't go vegan.

I do what I can do to help my defense.

I don't want to subject myself just to one scheme. I think it's just if you can play, you can play no matter what scheme you play in.

I've got pretty good knowledge about pass rushing. But I know I have a lot to work on.

You have to be un-comfortably comfortable in this business. There's always somebody else who wants what you have.

I like to relax and get my mind off of business for a few hours.
