INDIANAPOLIS — It's been real busy.

Right after we got here, I changed my clothes and went straight to the hospital for my physical. They did everything — blood tests, X-rays, a lot of tests.

I was in the hospital for four, five hours. All of the o-linemen and tight ends went.

We didn't get measured or weighed yet. All of that is coming up. The last time I checked, I was 6-5 1/2 and 323. I lost about seven pounds since the bowl game.

I've been doing a lot of interviews with o-line coaches. I was ready. My agent, Leo Goeas, coached me on interviews. We had a few practice interviews. Leo asked me a lot of questions. He coached me up, taught me to always make eye contact, and to speak loud and clear.

My dad told me to wear collared shirts at all times. That's what I'm going to do. I packed a lot of of them. And, no, I'm not going to wear a lava-lava. I don't want to get kicked out of the combine.

I'm ready for the drills. We went over the videos from past combines. We watched how all of the players who were invited to last year's combine did their drills. We listened to the comments about them. That helped a lot. We did a lot of reps focusing on footwork, things to help me become quicker.

I'm excited to get started.
