"Pleasantly surprised, and as always it’s an honor to be voted by your peers and coaches and the fans out there who are watching us play. As an offensive lineman, it’s a big honor. I can’t do it alone, I have teammates who help me be me, and I’m pretty fortunate in having John Fina, who’s been my partner for seven years, and Billy Conaty, who did a great job for us this year and helped me do my job and a lot of the credit goes to those guys."
