On being a fan of Russell Okung…
"I've just been a really big fan of the way he plays the game. He played for a long time. He's played against some really good talent and been very successful. Some of his stuff lately has been a little hitchy, but for the most part he's been dominant, great hands, he sets guys up really well."
On his low bench press total…
"I didn't stick to my breathing routine. That's the lowest I have ever done, and I'll redo it at my Pro Day. Keeping it real, it will be held against me. All my numbers will be held against me. As an offensive tackle, my numbers are going to be compared to other offensive tackles. That's just the reality of it."

On what teams are looking to see from him in meetings…
"Just see what type of person I am, to see my personality. I think that's the number one thing for me, kind of develop some bonding in the room with most of the coaches and get to know most of the guys who are going to be making the big decisions."
On relationship with Nick Saban…
"Coach Saban he really wanted to add more depth at the inside linebacker position. Originally, I was an outside linebacker, so I eventually made the big move my junior year in the spring. And ever since then, I've been playing inside linebacker. But Coach Saban, he put a lot of time in me getting some extra film work in. As a matter of fact, I was getting film in probably after each practice just to speed up the learning curve so I could play it in the fall. So, once I started doing that, I just kept doing the same thing heading into my senior year."

Top Quotes
On why he thinks he's the best quarterback in the draft…
"Accuracy, I can make any throw. Winning that's the most important, but the way I've been able to get my guys around me to play, not just the offensive players around me, the other 10 guys, but defensive guys, special teams, the energy I bring, the passion I bring, it's infectious. So you can ask anybody on that Oklahoma staff, that's what I bring to the table."
On what he's being asked about in interviews…
"Teams ask me about my character, but until you sit down and talk to me directly, you might have image that's portrayed in stories or headlines. But I love the game, I'm upfront and honest. I know exactly what I'm about and that's the most important thing. What you see is what you get. I've always been brutally honest and some people don't like that because it's rare nowadays. But I go into these meetings and I'm just myself. I want to get drafted to a team that knows exactly what they're getting."

On being Matt Ryan's cousin…
"It's kind of been the 'Mike McGlinchey, Matt Ryan's first cousin' since I was in high school. But I'm very thankful for that. Matt has guided me every step of the way, whether he knew it or not. And just watching the way Matt goes about his business, the way that he works, the way that people respect him is something that I've always worked for. He's been my football hero ever since I was a little kid going to his BC games in fourth, fifth, sixth grade, and when he got drafted into the pros when I was in eighth grade or whatever, we all went up for the trip and it was at that moment that I said, you know what, I want to do that, too. And everything that I've ever learned from him has been great. He's obviously a member of my family and I love him for that, too. But the experience and the values that he's taught me have been invaluable, whether he's said things directly to me or not."
On his development over the years…
"Well I was 260 pounds at signing day and now I'm standing at almost 315, so a lot physically has changed about me. I went into school as a skinny little — I knew I was going to play offensive tackle but I wasn't physically prepared to do it. I took a lot of lumps early on trying to get in the weight room, trying to get extra, trying to get on the field and break into the mold of being a starter for Harry and the Notre Dame offensive line. It took a long time, it took two years before I started my first game as a redshirt freshman and I got beat up a lot, I made more mistakes than I can even count and that's the reason why I'm here today is because of the way that I was pushed. I kind of came in — I didn't have a whole lot of coaching, I graduated from a high school that had 30 guys on their varsity team and I played every position but defensive back because we needed to. So I needed to learn a lot about O-line, playing it the right way, doing things the right way and how to be a pro about it."

On why Alabama produces quality defensive linemen…
"Definitely just the way we work. The D-line, we've always got the mentality that we want to be the best D-line in the country and then we try to bring that into every day at practice and just our work ethic every day. I think that's what gets us here."
On who he patterns his game after…
"Coming out of high school, I watched a lot of Nick Fairley, Marcell Dareus, Fletcher Cox been ballin', Aaron Donald, I try to look at (those) guys and then see what I can take from their game and just try to implement it in my game."

Top Quotes
On his expectations heading into his rookie season…
"I feel like I can make a tremendous impact on the defense, just with my playmaking ability (and) my leadership qualities. And everything that I possess, as a football player on and off the field. I feel like that will definitely elevate any defense."
On secret to his success…
"My relentless pursuit. I believe in that. I was always taught, if you start something, finish. And take advantage of every opportunity. And tomorrow is not promised. If it's my last play that I ever play, how do I want to go out? So I feel like every play, I treat like it's my last play. And I bust my tail like I don't have a next play."
