On how the team is jelling: **"Yeah, I mean, camp's been great. We've been hanging out. We had a lot of time together. Obviously, camp you spend a good amount of hours in the building. Obviously, having practice first thing in the morning and getting out late at night or if you're having extra meetings or whatever that may be. But no, we're doing a hell of a job of just becoming the best team we can be as a unit. I'm on offense, so I'm more in those meetings and everything like that. We're all coming from different places and we're starting to gel in regards of the timing and the chemistry and even the bonding outside the building. That's a huge asset to us and we're doing a heck of a job with that."

On how physical he sees the offense being this season:
"We're going to be physical. That's the name of the game. And that's how you put pressure on defenses, when you have a great run game. The O-line unit, we take great pride in the run game and that's on us too with our tight ends. And even our wide outs too, blocking down field. We make a great emphasis of, all 11 of us are extensions of one another and who's ever getting that ball, whether we're on offense and defense, we're all connected as one. So, DQ [Head Coach Dan Quinn] has had awesome presentations of becoming the best team that we can be, but also raising the bar and raising our standards to a champion standard that we set. How we raise the bar every practice and taking ownership of that."

On having C Mike Deiter here with him:
"It's definitely great. Shoot, we played for four years together in Madison in college. So, just knowing where he's at, but also again, we're coming from different backgrounds, and he's been on two other football teams too other than this one in the league. But also, just knowing the chemistry of how blocking schemes, that's definitely an advantage for sure. But at the same time, it's obviously different in each and every place you go to. And we want to do it the commander way of, whether it's blocking in pass pro or run game or play extra pass, whatever that is. But the chemistry of the for brotherhood for sure."

On reminiscing on college with G Nick Allegretti:
**"Yeah, it's been great, man. For real, we definitely have talked about the rivalry that we had in college and stuff like that. It's like how we said before, the chemistry in the room, we're always talking, we're always building, but we're having fun doing it for sure."
