A hard worker that hit the practice fields with the same amount of intensity that I hit the field with in my 4 trips to the Ultimus. I made, well can I count this season yet even though voting hasn't been done? Screw it I'll count it because I'm not missing the Pro-Bowl this seasonm I've made 6 Pro-bowls in my 7 NSFL seasons, and I'm in the discussion for DPOY for Season 7. If that's not a good legacy, I don't know what is, honestly. I foresee an Otters Ring of Honor spot in my future, and who knows, maybe a Hall of Fame bust! I bleed Orange, I've given this team my all, I certainly hope the Otters are grateful, because I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to play for such a great franchise.

It's going to be a tough task to get in to the Hall of Fame, but I think I should definitely be in consideration. Like I mentioned to the previos question, I've made 6 of my 7 possible Pro-bowls so far, and don't see my play backing too often in my final 8th season. If the Voting Committee vote me as Defensive Player of the Year for S7, I think it'll go a long way towards earning a Hall of Fame bid. Rumors say there's a good chance at the DPOY, so I'm definitely hopeful. Three rings don't look bad either. Maybe I can ride into the sunset in S8 like Ray Lewis did, as Champion.

Who do you see as a promising up-and-comer that is poised to take over your role in the league?
If/when you recreate, do you see yourself playing somewhere other than OC, or would you want to return?
I felt it was time. I've been in the league for 8 seasons and my body is going to start slowing down sooner rather than later. I'll still hang around the league but it's time to make room for younger guys to take over.
The Otters just added Jaylon Broxton, I think he'll grow into a fine player under my tutelage for another season. New players come in every year, who knows who else will come in and kick some ass, you know?
I'm OCO for eternity.
