It is tougher to do than it looks. You have to be able to recognize who's going to block you, beat that guy, and then go down and make a one-on-one tackle, which is one of the hardest things to do. The returners in the NFL are the best, fastest, quickest guys in the league. -Wesly Mallard

It was maybe just about 100 people (at a game) — families and all that. I was probably one of the best players over there, but the competition wasn't that great.
