About Estes being his center, Colt said:
"I really want to establish a relationship with my new center John Estes. With Samson Satele leaving [drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the second round this past April], the coaching staff did a great job moving Estes from guard to center. As far as John and I, this summer will be all about getting our timing down. I want to make sure he’s really comfortable come game time.

Estes is really respected [on the team] and he’s a really good blocker. I’m really excited to see him at center. That was a move that just started this summer, because during the spring he played at guard. We’re going to have to work really hard to get the O-Line solidified this year and get their confidence up." (NFLDP)


About his offseason regimen to get stronger and more fit, Colt said:
"I feel great heading into this season. I really concentrated on adding some good weight during the off-season. I am at 205-pounds right now. I think it went really well. What I did was at the beginning of the year I cleansed. I ate all organic food for two-weeks. I got my body to get rid of all that bad weight and that was done all during the summer. I just worked out and drank a lot of protein shakes and eat as much as I can.

Last year I was around 205-pounds, but it was a heavy 205, and I felt a little gut coming on. Now I feel like I’m in great shape. I just want to continue to get bigger through camp. The last two years when camp started I didn't really lift. I’ve been preparing myself everyday for this, and I am going to try to lift during the season and get bigger and stronger." (NFLDP)


About the media attention, Colt said:
"This week has been interesting. I had a guy from the New York Times come out to Hawaii and he’s been following me all week long, so that’s been pretty cool. I understand where I am in this thing and I know that there will be media coverage all season long. I am ready for it and the way I look at it is that any exposure for our team is good exposure. Personally, I just try to embrace the attention, because for the most part it’s very positive." (NFLDP)
