Fullback Mike Tolbert

Why he’s nicknamed ‘Butterball’
“That’s what Mr. Richardson calls me. That’s my guy, so he calls me Butterball. I like that.”

 

Cornerback Robert McClain

Unemployed last month, now a starter for the playoffs
“I couldn’t have planned it out this way, only God could.”

 

Cornerback Lou Young

When asked to describe his style of play
“Scrappy. I like to scrap; I like to get after it. I think that’s something I can use that makes me successful in the system. It’s built for scrappy, physical players and I fit right in.”

 

Receiver (and former Ohio State Buckeye) Ted Ginn

On rookie wideout (and former Michigan Wolverine) Devin Funchess
“He’s my little brother; I can’t get him away from me. We sit next to each other in meetings. Everything we do is me and Funchess. That speaks volumes. Even though we was raised to hate each other, we love each other.”
