I have 2.

So Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark.

Because they were 2 outstanding football players who really showed me how to be professional, take care of my body to achieve longevity in the league, but they were 2 great family men and 2 great guys off the field. They showed me how to balance out being a professional athlete with being a great husband, a great father, and a great member of the community.

Hahaha... Kyle Long. He's definitely a personality, has a lot of energy, and when he's on the field, he definitely has some smack talk going playing mental games with his opponents.

It's kind of like the previous question - talking about Michigan & WVU - every program has their way of doing things. They have their own formula for success. I've had the opportunity to play for 3 of the arguably best organizations in all of sports - the Steelers, the Giants and the Bears - so whenever you come into a new environment, it's all about learning how they do things, because clearly they've had some success. So you just try to do your best and learn how to become a part of their team and organization.

Coach Trestman takes an active role in participating in our defense and supporting us. He definitely makes sure to keep involved, acknowledging the positives that our defense does as well as what we need to work on. It's an ongoing thing, it's not really set in stone. During the week, he will put up some defensive highlights, and vice-versa, and also on special teams, so it's an ongoing thing, making sure everybody is aware of teammates' efforts, because it can sometimes be unnoticed when everyone's so focused on what they're doing - whether it's offense, defense, or special teams.

Martellus Bennett, I have to say. I really enjoy competing against him, because he's an outstanding tight end and he prepares me, week in and week out. We've seen over the past couple of season how important the tight end position is becoming, and he's a great player who brings a lot to the game week in and week out.

The Green Bay Packers are... division rivals whom we hope to go two and o against this year.

Really just going out and feeling the energy of the stadium. I listen to music on my pre-game warmup. I like to feel the energy and atmosphere of the stadium, hear the sounds and see the sights, that's really what gets me going.

Thank you!

I've had some good deep dish pizza. I've had Lou Malnati's, it was pretty good. I haven't had too much yet, but Chicago has amazing food. I've been to some great restaurants.

Uh... no! I've heard a lot of Mundy / Monday jokes, but never that one.
