Not too many NFL wide receivers have an engineering degree from Stanford and have turned down the opportunity to go to Harvard. Given how much Miami's Greg Camarillo had to fight and claw his way to have a professional football career though, it makes sense that he'd want to have something solid to fall back on. After having to walk on initially at Stanford, he was not taken in the NFL draft. However, through hard work and a penchant for finding open seams in the defense, he has become an integral part of one of the AFC's best up and coming teams. We caught up with him recently to check out his soundtrack for getting ready for games.



Juelz Santana "Rumble Young Man Rumble" - This is the last song I listen to right before the game. The chorus and the lines I f*ck with are, "I was taught be smart, stay humble/I was taught be hard, don't fumble/I was taught in this concrete jungle, rumble young man, rumble." All those really can apply directly to football. It's talking about how when you're going into that jungle, you can't have fear. You gotta be hard and go in there with courage.

E-40 "Record Haters" - I'm from the Bay Area and E-40 is the self-proclaimed "Ambassador of the Bay." It was a pre-game song I listened to in high school and it took me back to my high school days. The song is about people hating on his albums and records. If you want to apply that to football you can say that the song's about not listening to the haters and moving on from there.

E-40 Featuring Mike Jones "I'm Da Man" - It's talking about your swagger and confidence. I'm a Mike Jones and E-40 fan. Great combo.

E-40 Feat. The Federation "Go Hard Or Go Home" - E-40 with a Rick Rock beat and The Federation, which is as Bay Area as it gets. That's the whole Hyphy movement personified right there. That's the one you'll see me dancing to in the locker room.

2Pac Feat. Jon B "R U Still Down?" - That's more like an hour before the game instead of right before because it's real calm. I try to stay calm to avoid from getting nervous. That's chill, but still rap and upbeat. Not something that someone would fall asleep to. That's something to keep loose, keep lax, and keep the tension out.

Mexi "Determined" - My older brother Jeff raps as a hobby. It's a good song. The song is four years old. But it's more that it's my brother rapping. He's in the stands getting hyped for himself and getting hype for me and I can get hype to him during pre-game. He comes to 90% of the games. He's actually a teacher in the Bay so you wouldn't think he raps. It was just something he did on the side.

2Pac "Hell Raiser" - I gotta have some Tupac. He's just angry and there's a lot of aggression in that song. He's talking about raising hell. That's the mentality you want when you're hitting the field.

Plies "Plenty Money" - The songs that motivate people are rags-to-riches songs or songs about getting money. A lot of people in the NFL are rags to riches stories so you relate to that. Also, as much as you shouldn't admit it, money is a lot of the motivation in this world and business. And thinking about making money transfers to the field. The better you play, the more money you'll get. You think about playing well in the game, you gonna get money and be rapping these same songs. Plies is also from Fort Myers, so he's popular in Florida and the South.

OJ Da Juiceman featuring Gucci Mane "Make The Trap Say Aye" -
I'm not a big fan of it, but it gets people going. Don't ask me why.

Rick Ross featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and T-Pain - "Maybach Music 2"
Ross gets a lot of love. He's from the area, so he gets well-repped out here. You could play that whole CD all the way through. The day after [Deeper Than Rap] came out it was getting bumped in the weight room. I'm a fan of T-Pain tracks and rap songs with some singing on the hook. It stems from my love for Nate Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. I'm a huge West Coast guy so I compare it to that. It's Ross, Wayne, and Kanye. What more could you ask for you?
