I got into the weights because I didn't want anybody messing with me. I wanted people to say, 'Oh, he's so big, I don't want to mess with him.' And second of all, I wanted to be great at football. I wanted to be the baddest dude around because I knew what it was like to not be.

I am a bit sassy, with some sarcasm thrown into the mix, but stoic at the same time - and brash.

This kind of stuff, it wasn't the cool thing when I was growing up. Now, pop culture is comic books, super-hero movies, anime, manga, and I've been doing it for a long time.

The second guy always gets caught, and that's why you have to initiate it instead of retaliating.

A lot of 'Shonen Jump' anime, you see a lot of battles, a lot of aggression, and it's very relatable to players. There's a hero, and he has to go through a lot of rough training, put his body through the unthinkable so that he can save the world or do his task. His or her challenge is saving the world; our challenge is winning the game.

'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures' - it took a long time for that to get animated because the old-school animation wouldn't have the glorious nature of JoJo justice. Watching shows like that and 'Super Kia,' 'Black Clover,' 'Attack on Titan,' being able to watch some anime the night before the game definitely helps relax me.

Nobody wants to stay in Green Bay and run laps in the snow and go boxing in the gym. Everybody has what works for them, and I feel as though this works for me - it keeps me hungry, it keeps me with that edge. Other guys get a hard day's work in, but they're on the beach afterward.

You're not going to change me. I love being me.

Mike Daniels

Embrace the fact that you are different... Don't think you're alone. Embrace it. Love it.

I was never motivated by a contract. I was motivated by being the best. So I just compete against myself every day and push to get better.

Mike Daniels

Nothing was ever handed to me. I mean nothing.

In 'Dragon Ball,' the characters have a challenge. They know they have to push their bodies to the limit in their training so they can make sure to defeat their opponent, much like professional football players.

Take a deep breath. When the game comes, no matter what happens, you can always keep your cool. I'm a bit of a hot head, a bit of a spaz, so it really helps me calm myself down during the game.

Mike Daniels

I really feel that if you impose your will on somebody, eventually they'll break.

My family has great stature. And with the right type of training, I was able to put on weight.

I'm an East Coast guy and always will be. But I'm always going to find my way back to Green Bay whether I'm living here or not. Green Bay is a great place. Green Bay is awesome.

Whether you're praying, meditating, you're getting silent, relaxing your mind... and you definitely want to train hard - in the weight room, on the track. You need to do all of it.

Mike Daniels

We have to have each other's back. That's just football. That's how it's been since we were younger. Before you learn technique and scheme when you're a little kid, you're out there scrapping.

Mike Daniels

Communication is key in any relationship - especially in a team sport, and football is the ultimate team sport.

I know Geno Atkins is a big anime fan. Cameron Jordan, Larry Warford, my boy Adam Gettis is a big anime fan.

Kevin Zeitler, who plays for the Browns, he watches quite a bit of anime.
