Key quotes from Mike Montgomery interview

"I'm currently doing real estate all over Texas and also doing charity events to give back to the community."

"I came back to finish my degree and Coach Sumlin asked me to help out with the team. I just wanted to be a part of the new team and the SEC."

"Coach Sumlin is an awesome coach and person and I wanted to help him out and be a part of the team."

"Spencer Nealy was an exciting player. When I saw him play, I got flashbacks of myself."

"From the whole D-line and from Coach Price himself, I learned so much."

"Coming from a small town, football always got more recognition. I didn't think I was tall enough to play basketball, but I was just the right height for football."

"A&M was a special place. I had other offers, but my whole goal was to get to the NFL and I chose A&M because they had a proven track record at defensive line."

"A&M was my premier place to go for an education but to also compete at a high level in the Big 12."

"Coach Slocum was recruiting me at first, and when they made the coaching change and switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3 it only made A&M a lot more appealing."

"It was a nightmare being on the field during the 77-0 game. I kept thinking that it wasn't real. I had never experienced something like that."

"Being named All-Big 12 in 2004 meant a lot. I wanted to prove to myself as one of the premier players in the conference."

"I still love watching the NFL Draft. It just doesn't change the players' lives. It changes their family's lives."

"My phone wasn't working, so I gave my uncle's home phone number to the teams. I kept hoping someone would pick me and then I got a call on my uncle's phone from Green Bay."
