A.J. Hawk Trying Quotations

I think the linebacker position, with all the defenses they're playing, and with all the offenses you have to face - one week you're facing a spread offense and the next week a team is trying to pound the ball on you - you have to be able to do a little bit of everything.

People always try to get us in linebacker battles with the other teams. But we're trying to be the best defense in the country. We're going in as a defense and to make a statement.

I was trying to get to the ball. I play with 10 other guys who are really good.

I try to take everyone's head off, to tell the truth.
