The Bears were right to trade two first-round picks for Khalil Mack

[Ryan] Pace is the man. He gave up two first-rounders. Put his nuts on the table. But you don't know if they're going to be good anyway. People are always like, why would you give two first rounders? So you draft the first rounder. Do you know he's going to be good right away? Any time you get a chance to get a player like Khalil [Mack], you do it.

Mitchell Trubisky will have a breakout year with an open play book

I think [Mitchell Trubisky] is going to do well. You look at last year, they didn't let him do much last year. I think this year will be different. They're going to open it up, use his athletic ability, move him around a little bit. I've not been this excited in a long time about our team.

Mike Brown was the smartest defensive player I ever played with

The smartest one is Mike Brown. Not even close. Julius Peppers is a different—you know, 6'6", 300, runs a 4'6", 4'5" 40. But Mike Brown... he was the smartest.

Kyle Orton was a great quarterback who never got the credit he deserved

People didn't give Kyle [Orton] enough credit. Kyle could do everything they asked him to do. They didn't ask him to do much because, first of all, Kyle knew what kind of defense he had. So he didn't turn the ball over... He understood the situation he was in with our defense. So he could make all the throws that we needed him to, but he just didn't get the credit he deserved.

Bear Weather is 100% real

Is Bear weather real? Yes, 100%. Nobody wants to play in Chicago past December or November or whatever. Our fans love it. In the winter, they don't care, man. They're going to come out and support no matter what. If you're playing there, you better take advantage of that weather because it's not going to change.

The Browns are going to win the Super Bowl this year

The Browns are going to win the Super Bowl this year. Did you watch Hard Knocks? They're awesome.

Aaron Rodgers is the toughest quarterback I ever played against

Who's the toughest quarterback you had to play against? Aaron [Rodgers]. His mobility is obviously—his arm is tremendous, but his mobility and they're never in a bad play. You can't trick them.
