Quotes 

• Sonny Weaver Jr. : Let me tell you something, Vontae, and I don't have a lot of time, so I want you to listen to me carefully, okay? Are you listening?

  Vontae Mack : Yeah.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Don't Twitter. For the love of Jesus, just stop. Delete your profile, get off the web, do not do this to yourself.

  Vontae Mack : I don't know why you care what I do. I can do whatever I want, right?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Of course... of course you can, Vontae. But every GM in the league has now read your tweet or whatever they call them. And they've all made a mental note that Vontae Mack, however prodigiously talented, is a guy who likes to talk, all right? Who likes to spread rumors, who's more than willing to announce to the world any inane thought that passes through his head. And be it your god given right or not, Vontae, GMs hate that shit, all right? We hate it.

  Vontae Mack : You made a mistake, Mr. Weaver.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : No, Vontae, I made a deal. And you're gonna be a great player in the NFL if you don't manage to sabotage yourself between now and the end of this day.

• Vontae Mack : Callahan's a poser.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Yeah. And what do you know that every scout and coach on Earth does not?

  Vontae Mack : I know he got sacked twelve times last year.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : No, it was eleven. It was eleven times.

  Vontae Mack : Yeah, well, four of 'em were mine. In one game.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Yeah, I remember. I-I... I saw your highlight reel. I also remember that he beat you.

  Vontae Mack : Watch it again. Don't watch me. Watch him. Watch me sack him four times in one game. Then watch what happens after.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Watch what happens after what?

  Vontae Mack : Just watch.

• Vontae Mack : So? Who you picking? If I was you, I'd take a lightning-quick middle linebacker who can murder the gaps in a 3-4.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Totally agree. You got Reggie Wilson's number down there in Purdue?

  Vontae Mack : Now, I really don't find that funny.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Yeah, it's funny, Vontae. You're just not feeling it right now.

• Vontae Mack : Any news?

  Vontae's Agent : We just got off the phone with Houston. They're at 15. With the Cleveland thing, that might be your best shot.

  Vontae Mack : 15?

  Vontae's Agent : And I'm not 100% sure about that.

  Vontae Mack : What does that mean, man?

  Vontae's Agent : It means it could be a long night. Stay positive. You never know with these things.
