He was the most intelligent football player I ever played with, on both sides of the ball. It was incredible with the way he would make adjustments on the field. It would be coming out of my mouth, the adjustments I would be making, and he would be saying them already. We would always be on the same page. The entire defense would be on the same page because of [Vrabel] and the work he did. Championships wouldn’t have been won without him and I think that intelligence is why they hired him over there at Ohio State. It’s perfect for him. All he ever did was talk about the Buckeyes and his college program. I was honored to play with him. Probably my favorite teammate of all time and I’m so proud of him and happy for him.
