Kamerion Wimbley Quotations

We'd like to get a win and break that streak, but as far as players, you have to have a short memory. A lot of the people in those games aren't even here any more. This is a new team, a new year, a new season, starting fresh.

He's as good as advertised. He's a big, strong physical back (and) broke some tackles.

He's just so strong. He's not afraid to pull it down. He's not going to slide; he's going to try run over you and he's going to try and run around you.

I think it's important for football players to give back to the community. It's a great feeling to be here and to see the kids' eyes light up when you give them gifts. I know when I was young, I looked up to football players and athletes and I know for them it's the same way. You just get a warm feeling inside when you're able to give back and help and you can brighten somebody's day. It's definitely a positive.

I think their potential scares us the most. I still think they have the talent to be one of the top teams in the nation.

That was definitely a thrill for me -- to start off my career in a game like that on that type of stage. Being able to contribute right away was a real motivator for me.

Whoever they put in there, I'm sure they'll be ready to play. They're on scholarship, too, as our coaches say.

We have to put him into a more single-minded situation where he is just throwing the ball.

We're kind of under the radar and that's fine with us. As long as we take care of our jobs and keep winning, everything else will take care of itself.

We knew we had to put some pressure (on Wright) tonight for us to win,

We don't want to go up there and have them sneak up on us like some teams in the past. I hope this isn't going to be one of those years where we shoot ourselves in the foot.

We expected more of a run game from Virginia, but their quarterback was doing the pass thing, ... Wake Forest came in as the No. 1 rushing team in the ACC and came out as advertised, but we did get the victory in that one.

To be honest, I just want to be back in the shuffle. I don't want to go out as a spectator.

I've worn a (protective) brace in practices, but I've gone through everything and it has not restricted me. Naturally, you don't want an injury to cost you playing time, but hopefully I can get out there and get back into a groove.

Speed kills. Teams are recruiting differently based on the success we've had at Florida State. Now, bigger, faster, stronger is everybody's motto.

A lot of people had an influence on me when I was growing up, pointing me in the right direction and teaching me to make good decisions.

They have a good offensive line, but he was a first-time starter. We played hard the whole game, and things went our way.

It's (option spread offense) a big reason why we didn't get as many sacks.

I'm not opposed to it. Playing standing up would play to my strengths, but it's just a matter of learning new responsibilities.

I'm going to make time for anybody that has a first-round pick.

I just think we're focused on the Penn State game. I think things will happen, but we can't let it take away from this game.

Being able to put pressure on the younger quarterback helped us out.

Partnerships can be very big. The relationships you cultivate can help. If you put together a business plan that makes sense and that you can present to other people, they may be able to help you out, especially if you're short of cash. Angel investors, perhaps, may help. You may not have to go through a traditional bank. If you're not able to secure funding, you can get up under someone who has experience, learn from that person, and work your way up.

The NFL has done a great job in giving players information on how to go to a second career after football and how to invest their money while they're playing to ensure when their career is over, that they have something else in place to fall back on. One of the big things the NFL does is promote education in different fields.

I tend to go with things people need. Obviously with the barbershop, people will need haircuts regardless of the economy. In a down economy, I choose businesses that don't require a lot of start-up cash or a cash injection on a regular basis. They might need some initially, but not often after. Rental of properties is a good business in a down economy as people struggle with mortgages.

I spend a lot of my downtime studying different businesses and learning from a lot of entrepreneurs when I'm not playing football. They can help me evaluate different ventures to see if they'll work. I was aggressive with my initial investments, trying to hit a homerun each time. But now, I'm stepping back and being more patient, giving them due diligence.

I don't have a lot of time for managing [my businesses], so I put a lot of trust in people I hire to manage my businesses. I can't necessarily attend to [the businesses] while I'm in season. We swap ideas on how we can improve and deliver a better product.

Study and keep your attention on whatever it is you're going into. Build a good team. The team needs to know what it's doing They need to be people you can trust and people you can work well with.

You definitely see how blessed you are and how much other people have to struggle. Basically you realize how fortunate you and your teammates are that we haven't suffered something as life-changing as these kids have and yet they still fight. It just makes you want to continue on in life fighting for what's right and doing good things and helping people.
