"When my friends who were college age took a year off of school, they'd play in Weatherbox, or between high school and college.

"I think that while kids are in college they don't think that fitness and nutrition are really important things. But once they get to the NFL it's a job, and just like any other job you've got to be at your best to a certain point, especially with a job like this. You've got to be fit and you've got to eat the right things."
