“It was a flashback to when I was a first-round pick in 1995. I congratulated him on being drafted by the Steelers. I told him I knew what he was going through. I wanted to welcome him to the city. I told him that Pittsburgh's a small city but it's also a great city. He'll build a lot of good relationships.”
“(Steelers owner) Mr. (Dan) Rooney is one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met. He's so unassuming. He's a role model for a lot of people.”
“If that indeed happens, then I'm going to welcome that young man with open arms. Because from what little I've seen, he seems like a very impressive collegiate player. I think if we do decide to go in that direction, he can only add to a team that already has a lot of talent.”
“For him to be in one place for so long and the team to be so successful for so long just shows you're dealing with a class guy, a very reputable guy, who continually perseveres each year to put a great product on the field.”
