You can listen to the touching interview HERE. Brett’s segment comes in around 20:42.

Highlights:

On hearing Coach LeBeau had resigned:

I was surprised. It shocked me a little bit. I think it’s how abrupt everything happened.

Coach LeBeau-everybody knows how much he means to us. That whole locker room has been so much better off because of his presence.

His football records speaks for itself.  He was a father figure for us. All of us kind of grew up with him. He’s so much more than just a football coach.

On how LeBeau impacted their lives:

Somewhere throughout our time here with the Steelers, he found a way …a moment…to be at the right place at the right time when we needed him personally and professionally. He’s a special guy.

On the team being in transition:

We had so much success and so much fun. The team has a bunch of great young talent. Steeler Nation should be very excited about the future.

On his future with the team:

I haven’t really made my decision..one way or the other. I still have another year on my contract, and I still have this ridiculous triceps that I’m rehabbing.

That’s my focus is to get this arm back to where it was and get my body back to where it was. I am sure when the birds start chirping around here I’ll wanna start training. As of right now, I am just focused on getting this arm back.
