The first game I played against the University of Miami, I was very nervous - eyes wide open.
Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.
I was big into football in college.
I can tell you this: we at the Big Ten don't want to be like the SEC - in any way, shape or form.
I went to college to play football, not to study it.
I played football and lacrosse in high school. They wanted me to play football at Amherst, which I did not do because my schedule was full enough as it was. But over the course of my student days, I played pretty much every sport out there.
A lot of people don't realise how competitive college sprinting is.
In college, I played a lot of 3.
I played volleyball for Brown University and loved playing there. I played all four years and was captain my senior year. Second team all-Ivy, academic all-Ivy. I really loved it. When I was graduated, I figured that was it.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
