"It's not about how you begin it's what you do after," he said. "Let it humble you and let it give you an opportunity to ignite. You know, I have the draft of 2011 bookmarked in my laptop. It's about once a month at most I'll open it for a browse, and then look at all the names, one through 254. I still do it now. I'd like to see the players who were picked ahead of me and what happened to them. Being a winner in an award in the Super Bowl validated my progress and showed that I'm able to play."
