Geez -
What more could you ask from a guy?

"On Reggie White/Packers tradition
Just knowing him and watching a lot of him when I was growing up, all I know is Reggie White played one way, and that was with maniacal effort and just complete hunger. No matter who he lined up against, he wanted to dominate. And that’s the type of player I want to carry myself after, just a player that wants to dominate at whatever he does and wants to win. I hate losing and I’m happy to come to an organization like Green Bay, with a winning tradition. To be able to play at Lambeau Field is crazy. I’m so hyped up right now already. I just want to play.

You’re all about work ethic and character
You know, that’s everything I believe in. I feel like in order to be the best, that’s what you’ve got to possess. I always tell myself, I want to be the best defensive lineman. I want to be the best football player of all time. That’s my goal. In order for me to achieve that goal, everything has to be in line. The

I thought I was going to fall to the Colts, which I was kind of sad having to go there. Growing up my childhood team was I liked the Giants and the Packers. So when I finally saw the Green Bay Packers come up on my screen, oh my gosh I almost fainted man because it’s such a dream come true to be able to play for the Packers and greats from the past like Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji and to have Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback is so surreal.”
