I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback.
Athletic ability can be taken away like that. It can all end in a heartbeat.
I’m just another guy starting out.
I don’t judge my success in life as a football player.
The media will make a controversy out of anything, if they can.
I believe in my God-given athletic ability and the coaches that have been blessed around me. I believe I can do the job as a quarterback in the NFL.
I guess, first and foremost, I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Helping raise money for kids – there’s nothing better than that.
Along the way there’s going to be a lot of obstacles, a lot of adversity, a lot of people who will tell you you’re not good enough. I’m here to tell you that you are. Everyone that tells you that you’re not is because they didn’t accomplish something.
I grabbed my mom and I went to the couch and I said, ‘Mom I want to ask Jesus to come into my heart.’ And I got on my knee and I asked Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, and make me a child of God.
Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Our focus and energy needs to be on the things we CAN control. Attitude, effort, focus- these are the things we can control...
To be able to influence someone or to be able to have a group of guys come together to have a successful team and to be together all the time every day for, you know, a year and longer together, you have to have a – find a common ground. And that common ground for us is football.
I’ll always use the negativity as more motivation to work even harder and become even stronger.
You read glowing things and it doesn’t feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.
I try to learn from every experience, good or bad.
So much of how we act and what we do is based on humility or pride – that’s everything. And when you can humble yourself, you know, we are more like Christ when we can humble ourselves.
I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this organization proud. Every time I step on the field I will give everything I have and I will leave everything I have on the field every single Sunday.
I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don’t want to let them down.
If I’ve already thought through a situation and have a response prepared ahead of time in the event temptation rears its ugly head, it is that much easier to resist.
It’s not always the easiest thing to be the center of so much spilled ink.
