I think having this change come upon me probably made me grow up and appreciate things more, ... It made me become a better man, become a leader, it sped up the process. Out there, my playing always (did the talking). Off the field, I was always in my own world. Being here, not having the (players like) Shannon Sharpe, Eddie McCaffrey or Rod Smith, it thrust me into that role and I'm enjoying it.
