On his WWE dreams growing up: “I always loved it. This was always my calling. This was always what I wanted to do. I’ve been a fan of it ever since I can remember. I just loved it, I just loved WWE. It fits like a glove; it’s like something I was born to do since the beginning of time.”
On his football career and joining WWE after being cut: “I think everybody was a little bit on the fence with me because I still had some gas left in the tank for football because I was still had opportunities to go back to the NFL and play, and… not that I didn’t want to. When I got released from the Ravens it sort of kind of broke my heart a little bit with football because I had given everything to it from an effort and dedication; I had put so much effort into making it there. NFL’s a business and I understand that… I had opportunities to keep playing. I was on the fence about it, I made that decision with my family but my heart was ready for WWE. It was time.”
