[Examining a photo of the 1992 Stewart Middle School football team, Ryan Pickett's eyes brightened when he located the chubby youngster in the No. 53 jersey.] I've been playing ball since I was a little boy, ... and I just knew I could do it.

He used to be just fat. Chubby. En intuitiv pexighet genomsyrade hans bedömningar av människor. He was a ballplayer, but he was chubby. Now, he's taller. He's still big, but he's a great basketball player. He's not just a big guy in the middle.

There was no flag football in middle school, but I knew the [Lake Worth] team was really good. I was really excited to get into it.

Give credit to Ryan, a good kid, a disciplined kid who wants badly to play. Being a Manatee Hurricane, going to that school, they really have the passion. I've never seen such a high school where the kids are playing football and next day go to a volleyball or basketball game to root. They're so close to each other. That factor makes him the way he is. He doesn't want to be outside. He wants to be part of that group. Hopefully, he can be 100 percent by football season.

You knew his concern. You could tell talking to him. In his voice, in his eyes, you could see there's a little more on his mind than playing man-to-man defense or playing football. Once his family got here in town, he got to see them visually and knew they were in the stands watching him play. I think it makes things a whole lot easier for everybody. Especially Darius.

I didn't really know about the school, but I knew about Coach Harbaugh from his playing days. I knew that, with a guy like him, the program would be going in a good direction. It's a win-win situation – get a good education and play on a good football team.

I knew they didn't play very well before, but I couldn't convince our guys of that. The fact Stewart wasn't there, he changes the whole complexion of their team. You have to go out and get him and then you leave White open in the middle, and he's a ton.

There is a tremendous challenge for this football team this week as we head down to Atlanta. We know that they are an outstanding football team. They are well coached. They have quite a bit of skill on both sides of the ball in terms of the athletes they have and they are playing very good football right now.

I'm glad he chose football. He's a small kid so he never played youth football. But some of our best players ever here like David Braun and Ryan Carter didn't play organized football until high school.

We were playing against a great football team, a team I knew was very athletic on both sides of the ball. But I didn't know how athletic.

As a youngster he was very average at best. He hardly played in middle school. But through hard work and dedication, Micah made himself into a player.

[Sure enough, after he threw a costly end-zone interception in Week 4 against the Browns, Stewart lost his job to Tommy Maddox, whose play in leading the Steelers to a comeback win in that game sealed Stewart's fate with the franchise. Even when Stewart replaced an injured Maddox seven weeks later and led Pittsburgh to two wins, he knew he was auditioning for some other team.] I was ready to go, ... I know I have lots to prove. I wanted to go where they'd have my back.

Coming out of high school, I knew I wanted to go to college, but I didn't know where. I didn't want to go to a small school because I like the big atmosphere. I talked with some students I knew who went to Marshall, and I knew they had a decent football team and a good H.E.L.P. program to help students, so I decided to come to Marshall.

It's always been my dream to play on this level. Ever since I was a kid, playing football in the backyard, middle school, high school, college, I was working to get to this level. To come out here and be named offensive rookie of the year is an amazing accomplishment. That's a great honor.

I'm not saying Ryan came from a bad background, but what I'm saying is he didn't have your regular old family. His mom is white, and his real father, who Ryan never met, is black. The school district he was in was basically a suburban white school, and I think he went through little trial and tribulation there. Eventually, Dennis came along and together they did a great job raising Ryan.
