I had to go to jail, which was probably the most humbling thing I've ever had to deal with in my life.

I've played this game since I was in second grade, and there's nothing more important to me than playing football.

I've done everything I can at the University of Washington... I know I'm ready for the NFL.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I'm a villain. But hey, villains have fans, too. They might have more fans than the heroes, and I'm OK with that.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
When you lose things like football, which is the game I love - and this is the most important thing in my life - it really puts everything in perspective.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
Sometimes I get emotional. I let my emotions get the best of me.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I really have a love and passion for football. I enjoy basketball, but it's not something I love. You have to let things go that are not for you.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
Granted, everybody is different, but I think it's real important to know all the people that you are around, and how they operate their history, and things like that. You know where they are coming from a little bit, and you don't insult them, or take something for granted.

I won the John Mackey Award, so I did something right.

You have setbacks in your life, and adversity. You can be discouraged about it or have courage to get through it and be better.

I think that people that don't really understand the game of football and are just fans that think people just show up on Saturday and go, I don't think they understand the work that we put in here and what our schemes are and what we're trying to do.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
Playing on Saturdays, seeing 75,000 people yell your name, 88, ASJ, and all of that stuff is great.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I think guys that play basketball really understand how to go up and get a ball. Because in a rebound situation, you've got to go up and fight for a ball. Just boxing out. There are a lot of things that transfer.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
If someone has to be the villain, I'll be the villain. I have no problem with it. The movies still say, 'Starring... the villain.'

I love donating my time and serving other people. Just seeing the faces of people in need light up when they see you... There is no way I can put it into words. You feel like you did something right.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
It's not about me. I think people are too caught up with what I'm doing. It's just numbers. I'm trying to win.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I want to be a dominant pass rusher. I think I can do that with my body type and my work ethic.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I played basketball my whole life. It definitely helps. It translates to going up for rebounds and going up for balls in the end zone. Quick feet. It helps with getting in and out of your cuts. It definitely all translates to football.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
There's a lot of people in this world, and it's important to learn about them.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I think people make a really big deal that I'm this big character-issue guy, and I've got red flags. I'm not.

I want to be great at everything. I want to be the best at everything.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I need to take care of my mom and making sure she's financially OK. She's done so much for me, it's the least thing I can do.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
I've split out, played receiver, I've been a fullback, I've been in-line.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins -
When I get out on the field, it's all about football. I love football.
