Off the field, you're always running into people you've seen on TV. Sometimes it's players you've watched play for other schools. Others times, it's head coaches you see on the sidelines during games or watch them talking to the media. There are guys I've thought, "Wow, wouldn't it be awesome to play for him." And now, I'm sitting in the same room next to him. My first meeting with a team, it was the Redskins. I walk in, and there's Coach (Mike) Shanahan, waiting to ask me questions. That was pretty eye-opening about where I was and what was going on.
