Famous quotes by Jon Beason:

"Spring is where you win a job. I've been telling all the young guys, come out here and give effort every play. Don't worry about messing up now. Just see yourself improve and get your way up the depth chart. We're going to have a lot of fight this spring."

"Tyrone's a big back and he's physical. He can take the load. You can give him the ball and he's going to give you three or four yards just because of how hard he runs the ball."

"To be so big and so powerful, he's also quick. Tyrone can get moving when he wants to. He's a real tough guy to tackle, and he's always going to fall forward and get that positive yardage. It's always been in him. Before, you've always seen glimpses of it."

"The reality is, teams respect the defensive line. The quarterbacks have had to get rid of the ball quickly."

"He's been pretty much flawless. You don't hear anything about him missing class or getting in trouble. He's grown up a lot. He understands where he is and that people are counting on him and he's holding up to that."

"I'm very shocked. I just feel sorry for him. I think he should be here. I have a lot of confidence in our coaching staff and they must have done it for a reason. But I don't know what that reason is."

"We are winners. And that's the way we want to send out our seniors."

"The kid is not cocky, but confident. Everybody around him knows this kid is going to be a superstar. If we can get the other 10 guys on offense just to play with the type of confidence that he has, they would be unbelievable."
