"It's probably the best camp I've had here," Monroe said during Jaguars 2011 Training Camp, which continued Tuesday with one practice. "I came in in great shape, and I've been in the system for a few years now, and I understand what they're trying to get accomplished with the offense." Jaguars.com
"The Jaguars right tackle and his famous grandmother are similar in more ways than they're different. Art is a part of both of their lives, and they both chose professions that followed their passions and placed them directly into a public spotlight, kindred spirits in that way."

The last word
"You're always going to be nervous before a game. I've always said if you're not nervous before doing something that you love, it's not worth doing. I can tell you everybody in that locker room gets the butterflies before a football game and that's good. It keeps you light on your feet, keeps your mind racing but once that first play comes, once that first hit takes place it's back to playing football, back to doing what you do every day."
