“Blocking is part physicality and part physics. You have to be the lowe...” — Travis Kelce Quote

Blocking is part physicality and part physics. You have to be the lower man and get your hands inside to control your opponent's mass. If you have short footwork, tight hands and if you play low, you can hold your own.

I think the tight end position is so unique because you always have a mismatch if you know how to dial it up or use it right.

Jimmy Graham over in New Orleans started a whole new type of position almost to where he was trying to get paid like a wide receiver. He was split out more than 50 percent of the time.

The biggest leap between the NFL and college football is the speed. That's something you hear often. But I think there's more to it than just the speed of the players - there's also the speed with which you have to process information around you.

I do extensive storyboards so people can get a sense of what we're doing, and what the attitude and tone is. I work a lot with the actors. I like to go to sets or locations with them before shooting so that they know what they'll be doing on the day. I have found actors really do like to know about blocking, etc., before the shoot day comes.

I came into the NBA as a second-round pick, No. 39. I was on a team with a bunch of lottery picks. I didn't have an opportunity to really show what I could do on the offensive end, so I had to find my niche. It came on the defensive end, blocking shots and guarding my man.

I'm very good at blocking out noise.

I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
