Biceps Quote by Jason Kelce
“For offensive line play, it all starts from the ground up. Being able to use your strength in your legs, your hips, it all kind of originates there. I mean, everybody takes a look at biceps and shoulders and how big your chest is and whatnot, and that's all important. But really, everything originates from the lower half.”
