Aggie Flashback with Jason Mathews

Select quotes from Jason Mathews interview

"I was fortunate enough to play with Bruce Matthews and I take special pride in watching his sons' success in football. I take a little credit for the Matthews boys coming to A&M because I would constantly tell Bruce how great Texas A&M is to play."

"I credit Mike Sherman for my success on the offensive line. I'm so thankful that he saw something in me that I didn't."

"I had no business playing in the NFL, or even at A&M. Mike Sherman had a great eye for talent and I'm blessed that he saw that talent in me."

"After I left [the Buccaneers], I got a chance to play for seven more years. It was a tough time leaving, but I am a big believer that we learn so much through adversity."

"I was blessed with coaches like Sherman and Dungy. They led me to be a coach myself and mold boys into men just like they did."

"I can remember just thinking in 2012, 'Lets just become bowl eligible.' Then Johnny came on the field."
