Ted Jr. Quotations

We're going to go out all season and work hard and go back to Square 1 and do everything right, come back and just try to make it out here.

My father always told me that once you get the ball to 'use your shoes, ... That's what I do.

No, ... You've got to have that attitude that no one can catch you.

One thing he told me was, 'If I go down you try and be a man and step up, ... I think I did that this year. Coming in here, stepping up, going through the adversity and everything and just playing hard.

I think it's probably his time to go, and I think he will go.

I thought maybe I was (already) in and they were going to spot the ball on the kickoff or extra point,

when the ball was in the air and the safeties were running toward me. After that, I was ready to celebrate. I knew he'd catch the ball.

Today was a big, big win for us.

Yeah, you get a little confidence back, ... It's a relief. Guys can get off my back now.

Once you get open, you have to use your speed. You have to have that attitude that no one will catch you.

This is a player's dream to be in a big-time game like this. To go out at night at 8 o'clock, the only game on TV, and it goes all over the world - sure, it's a dream.

They talked a little about me playing offense during recruiting, ... They said I'd play corner and play a little bit of offense, 10 or 12 plays. They didn't say anything about moving me. I had no reaction. I just went over and played ball.

Once I see that end zone and nobody's in front of me, I've got to go,

I knew I could play offense, ... but I didn't think I'd be their guy.

I had a lot of fun. The point of the whole game was to play hard for the seniors. I have another year and the seniors don't.

I didn't know what impact I would have right away, ... but I really wanted to show my teammates even though I looked like a small guy, I could make some plays.

He's meant everything to me. That's Pops. He keeps me based.
