Trent Williams

One-on-one's it's mano-a-mano, all eyes on you, just you and him. You ain't gotta worry about nothing but you and him, that particular snap.

Whether running zone or power, the goal of the offensive line is to move people and create avenues for the ball carrier.

Trash talk is trash talk. You get that in every sport.

Coach Stoops has done a lot for me, as a player and as a man. I've got nothing but the utmost respect for him.

If you talk to good rushers, the Nick Bosas, they're not going to watch me, because I can mislead them. They'll look at their keys, the presnap motion, the quarterback.

If you just think football is as simple if knowing it's a run or a pass, you dismiss the knowledge you have to have to compete at a high level.

Any time you get beat, you're going to feel a certain way. But you have to wipe it out.

Any time you block a guy 30 times, it's not always going to be perfect.

Me, personally, giving up a sack, I feel like the whole game is messed up.

If you know the punch is coming, it's easier to dodge it. When you don't know it's coming, it catches you by surprise.

It's still - it's Julius Peppers, man. It doesn't get too much harder than that as far as blocking somebody.

I want to win and keep my quarterback clean.

I've played a lot of football.

I think I played pretty good football at times, but I'm always willing to improve, and that's what I focus on.

I don't really sit there and watch all the positive plays. I try to go through the things I can improve on and come up with a game plan, a formula for next year so that I can be a better player.

There's no point in hating somebody when you could ultimately end up on their team in a few months or a year later.

People compete. Sometimes it gets heated, sometimes it doesn't. That's for when you're on the field.

I noticed that when I first got to the NFL, my life changed so dramatically overnight that football was kind of hard to focus on.

Obviously, as a player, you always want to grow and be better than before.

You don't really know how football is going to feel until you play football.

I just pray that God continues to take care of me when I step out on the field and that I can just, at least, leave the field in the same condition I stepped on.

If there's any way I can continue to go, it's just hard for me to succumb to anything.

It's hard for me to quit on something.

I'm a competitor, man.

When you know what you're doing and you're more familiar, that breeds confidence.

God blessed me with the athletic tools to do things some people can't.

When I first came into the NFL, I was raw and I did a lot of things off pure athleticism.

Nobody plays perfect every Sunday.

As soon as I entered this NFL, it was to be the best. I won't settle for being third best but having a lot of money. I want to be first.

I don't want to be considered one of the best. I want to be considered the best. That's gas in my tank. I might not ever accomplish that, but I won't stop until I accomplish that or I can't go anymore.

When you have a mind frame, and you want to be great at whatever you do, then I think that's forever wealth to me.

You can chase money, but money only takes you so far.

I feel like if I'm not playing Pro Bowl-like football, I think it'll be a letdown for me and my team.

In my opinion, we play a game that's America's game and there's a lot of eyes on you, and I think a lot of people just want to pick you apart. No matter what you do, they're going to find the wrong in what you do, and kind of forget about the good things or whatever.

No matter how good I play, no matter how bad I play, there is always going to be coaching tips.

If you don't have confidence, you might as well not step on the field.

I understand everybody's a rookie one day.

Anybody knows, when you're focusing on your body, dieting is 90 percent of the battle.

No, I'm not a hoarder, man.

It's a game where everybody depends on each other; the quarterback depends on the offensive line, the wide receivers depend on the quarterback. It's a pulley system.

Any time you have to get a new quarterback, it's like getting a new coach. There's going to be an acclimation period.

The more I looked into it, I realize that if you want to speed your metabolism up, you have to fuel your body. Once I picked breakfast up, I noticed a spike in my energy level throughout the day, which enabled me to work out longer and harder.

Every year I fine-tune my training and my preparation to be better.

I don't have my mind set on any accolades. I just want to achieve something as a team.

All the accolades will come as well as I perform. It'll take care of itself.

You get older, you mature more and you get a little smarter in the game - see everything better, play better.

That's one of the things you work for, the respect from your peers, the higher-ups, your coaches, your front office.

As far as working out, that's a staple of mine and allowed me to play through so many injuries. It's allowed me to grow as a player.

I just want to be a vessel of what God has blessed upon me and just show others, whether you're a young offensive lineman or whether you're somebody having to battle with cancer, I just want you to be able to look at me and draw some motivation or relate to me in some type of way and see my battle and draw some strength from it.

I see Ryan Kerrigan, he's like a kale head. He's eating kale three times a day.
