    Inside info

    If I weren't a football player I would be ... "Probably the vice president for some Fortune 500 company. I got a degree in marketing, so I like doing things like advertising, production, producing things. Something like that."

    The best day of my life was ... "I've had a lot to chose from. But the best day of my life? I think it was the first time I led somebody to Christ. I realized the kind of impact I had to that person's future. I just thought it was way bigger than anything else I'd ever done before."

    Quick hits

    The last movie I watched was ... The last thing I saw was the Austin Powers' thing ('Goldmember'). I went with the offensive linemen on one of our nights off. It was all right. It was funny. It was Austin Powers."

    The CD I can't stop listening to is ... "Kirk Franklin's new one. It's kind of like gospel with 2000's-type beats to it. So it's kind of upbeat."

    My favorite place to hang out in Seattle is ... "I don't hardly ever go to Seattle. I'm either in Kirkland, Bellevue or my house. So, my house."
