And also, i"ve been playing against this defense fo- the past five years, and- they continue to get better and- be dominant.
This is a super- - - - bowl contending team, and i'm - just happy to be a part of that- everyone needs to be humbled.
- everyone needs those humble - experiences, and throughout my- entire life, i started- from very humble beginnings.
So- it's definitely just another- - - - chapter in my life that i'm - going to learn from and is goin- to make me better."
