I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.

I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential.

The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
