All camps are hard, that's what they're intended to be. They make you focus when you're tired, when you don't feel like doing things, and to see how long you can retain and pay attention.
At first, I didn't know what to expect but I do say that I love our defensive coordinator, Tim Lewis.
At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.
Camp is always all business.
Few people know that I grew up in Germany and that my family still lives there.
I always have a lot of personal goals, but primarily my main goal each year is to obviously win a Super Bowl.
I started playing Madden back in 1993 because that was the first year I actually made it into the game and that was a big thrill. When you're in Madden, you've made it, baby.
My craziest ambition is to take John Madden's job and salary.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I'd go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I'm now resigned to the fact that this won't happen.
My hobbies and leisure activities include cars and golf.
So I'd rather have a defense that's successful where everyone's comfortable in their positions.
That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either.
Tim Lewis is great, he's a great coordinator.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.
Well, I've been a fan of videogames all my life.
When I finish playing football, I would like to work with kids and sleep!
With the players Madden is definitely king and that's probably why it's been one of the top selling games all these years and will probably continue to be.
You never know who will win and I think that is the great thing about this league (as a player) because it gives you a lot of hope that this could be your year.
