Q: What part of football do you miss the most?
A: I never played nose guard in college, I was a defensive end, so to speak. And I played nose guard my whole career. Man, I loved being in the middle there, taking on one, two or three guys and taking the best they got and being able to give them something in return to where they knew they’d been in a game. I miss that. I miss that, I miss the ability to be able to get rid of all of your frustrations by head-butting somebody (laughing) and taking it out on the running back or the quarterback. You get away from the game, there’s just nothing that can replace that rush you get from just going mano-a-mano and giving it everything you’ve got, and 99 percent of the time the guys you play against are good guys and put it out there on the field, then after the game you’re shaking hands and giving hugs to your opponents and walk away and get ready for next week. It’s just something right to the world that I know.
