Wildcat, who led the team with 127 tackles and had nine sacks, had this to say on Twitter regarding how his family helped him achieve his goal:

"First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me these opportunities and blessings. None of this would be possible without him in my corner. Secondly, I would like to thank my family for being there at my lowest and highest points. Also my parents for always belierving in me and supporting all of my ideas and choices that have led me to this point. I would not be in this position without them."

He went on to thank all of the coaches who have got him to this point as well.
