What was your welcome-to-the-NFL moment?
Working out with Torry Holt. We did the Jugs machine and the treadmill. It was an honor that on my first day, he asked me to work out with him.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
My very first carry in the NFL, I fumbled.

What is your favorite off-day activity?
Reading. I'm reading 33 Strategies of War. The most entertaining book I've read as of late is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

What's one thing about being in the NFL that people don't think about?
How sore your body is after a game.

If I weren't in the NFL, I'd be...
an understudy to an architect.

If I were NFL commissioner for a day, I'd ...
guarantee all player contracts.
