"My grandmother had a caboose in her backyard, and I used to mimic the 'Choo-Choo' sound and that name kind of stuck."

"A&M felt like one big family. I went to a football game sophomore year. It was one of the greatest games I've ever been to."

"I didn't even know what the MLB draft was in high school. Vernon Wells told me I was going to be next, and helped me out."

"At that time, football came easy. Baseball just kind of grew on me, and I gradually came to like it more."

"I didn't know right off the bat when I got drafted if I was going to go pro or if I was going to go to A&M."

"These days, I'm the owner of North Texas Dash. I coach 13 year old baseball, and I'm a professional hitting instructor."

"Johnny Manziel is definitely exciting. As far as the best quarterback I've ever seen? Off the top of my head, yes."

"There were times I didn't even want to deal with the contract situation. Have people around who have your best interest."
