It's all about patience and I'm sure my time will come. I'm learning what it takes to be successful and I'm doing the things the coaches tell me.

I kinda motivate myself and keep me on my toes.

A lot of people feed off my energy. I have to keep that up. I can't just be loud one day and the next day saying nothing.

If we're losing, I probably won't be talking as much. I'll probably be more talking to my pads.

I think it's real big to be honest just because of how the media say I'm a bust and all of that stuff. I really don't pay too much attention to it but I know one thing about it is when I'm focused, I'm focused.

Coach Cignetti has got a good scheme, good plan for me, going to try to get the ball in my hands as much as possible.

You're always going to feel disrespected because you're getting traded. Evidently, you ain't doing something right or you ain't getting it done or they don't believe in you.

A lot of people say small guys can't get it done. But at the end of the day, it depends on how big your heart is.

I kind of approach every game the same. At the end of the day, it's another game.

The league is changing. There are a lot more small receivers now. I could see myself maybe in a slot like Wes Welker.

I believe that just because of my size people are always saying, 'You can't do this, you can't do that.'

I look at it this way: If the defender gets the chance they'll lay it on you. So for the most part I just try to go out there and bring it to them like they would try to do to me.

All I can do is come in and work hard and hope my number is called.

I'm strong. A lot of people don't think I'm that strong, but I am.

Size doesn't really matter. It's all about the mental aspect of the game and having the heart. I have a lot of heart and I take a lot of pride in what I do. That's what got me over the hump.

I've never been a captain of a team. But people always listen just because of my work ethic.

I've seen a couple mock drafts that have me going to the Baltimore Ravens. And if it happens like that, it'll be a blessing. But I'd like to go anywhere that calls my name.

I'll do whatever I need to. I'm not selfish.

For a minute, I thought I had a learning disability.

I might not be producing that much with the ball in my hands, but my fakes, my jet sweeps, it's doing numbers, and that's the main thing about it.
