Key quotes from Richmond Webb interview:

"That is great company to be in, all those guys Jacob [Green], Ray [Childress], and Lester [Hayes]."

"Just to be in company with those guys, it is an honor to me. I am proud that we all went to the same school."

"Those are four deserving names that easily could be put into the Hall of Fame. The process is not an easy one, if it was anyone could get in."

"I think have a pretty legitimate shot to make it in to the Hall of Fame."

"What keeps me humble is that i can remember the first time my name was put on the ballot. I saw some of the other names that were on there... and it is just a humbling experience."

"They only put five or six people in there at a time so when you have that many quality players trying to get in there at the same time its going to be a process."

"I really don't focus on it but if it does happen I would definitely be overjoyed."

"While you are playing, you don't really focus on it. You are focused on coming back and playing the way you did before."

"When I was a player, I went out there to try to prepare and work hard. The older you get the harder it is to maintain that level of play... and maintain the consistency of playing at a higher level week in and week out."

"Miami was so good for so long then there was a turn of events when it went down, but I like the leadership and everything they have in place... I like the direction the dolphins are going in. I see nothing but uphill potential. I am excited for their future."

"I think guys take pride in the foundation you get at Texas A&M. It is just a good group of guys. It seems like a magnet that draws the same type of people with the same kind of integrity and character."

"Aaron [Wallace] and I went on some of the the same visits. We were both highly recruited coming out of high school."

"I got letters from all around the country but I didn't want to go too far away for school."

"I felt right at home [at A&M] there was a good group of guys that were already there."

"I decided to attend Texas A&M and it made it even better than Aaron decided to attend Texas A&M too."

"I think it was the best decision I ever made [to attend Texas A&M]."

"The coaching staff wanted to give me an opportunity to get on the field... I welcomed it with open arms."

"Coming into my senior year, I was projected to go in the first 3 rounds [in the NFL draft]."

"There is a tremendous amount of pressure playing in the Senior Bowl... either your stock can shoot way up or way down."

"QBs were mostly right handed... so teams started realizing they needed to put their best at LT to protect the blind side."

"It was difficult [to switch coaching staffs]. I don't think anyone wanted to see Coach Sherrill leave but I think what gave guys comfort was that Coach Slocum was here and it was a guy we already new. It wasn't like they were bringing in someone no body knew. I think that made the transition easier."

"Coach Sherrill was such a player's coach. Anytime you lose someone like that in your family, it is tough."

"Coach Slocum was a great coach. His record speaks for itself."
