Official Karsch and Anderson Zack Follett Tribute Page

"One of the more colorful characters on the squad, literally, Follett spent much of 2007 with a hair dye job featuring tigerllion stripes (artork courtesy of Greg Van Hoesen), earning himself the nickname "Ziger" for the "Z" dyed into the back of his head amongst the stripes"

"Growing up, Terry Tate, No. 56, the Office Linebacker, he was my hero watching those commercials. I tried to emulate him when I was out there. ... Junior year of high school, I went to Champs Sports and they sold a Reebok Terry Tate number 56 jersey, and I bought one immediately. We watched all his YouTube clips and he's bringing the 'Pain Train' and doing the 'whoop-whoop' sound and I used to do it in high school, and I used to blow the horn. It kind of stuck with me a little bit."

"When I put those pads on, I put my jersey on, it's all nice and tight.  I feel kind of like, I just kind of put my armour on, like a Superman suit.  I can just go out there and fly, and hit people as hard as I can.  I mean it's my only time...I mean I'm an aggressive kind of dude, I mean my personality when I'm off the field is kind of laid back, but I definitely have that alter-ego, and that time I'm in that game is my only time I get to release that inner-beast in me, I guess.  Just let him out and let him run wild."

"They're gonna pay for it," says Follett. "I'm gonna go out there and hit their players and take them out of the game.

"But I'm excited. They're going to give me a good shot over at the Lions. They're the ones who put their neck out and drafted me."

"I look at it like what's God trying to teach me in situations like that?" says Follett. "This just humbled the crap out of me, to tell you the truth. I'm not gonna be going in with a big head, thinking this and that. I'm gonna have to work that much harder."

"If I was a hockey player, I'd definitely find me a partner and we'd be knocking some heads off"
