I just always felt I’d be playing football in the NFL – or at least playing for a living.
On the football field I keep my emotions tied up inside. But when I’m with family, I let them out.
No matter what happens on the football field it doesn’t change the kind of person I am.
I’ve always known that if I got the right opportunity and the right system, I could be successful.
It’s a group of guys that put their mind to going out and playing great football. Everybody that needed to step up, stepped up. Everybody that needed to make a play, made a play, and that’s what it’s all about.
It’s much easier when your team’s winning. When your team starts to lose, that’s where a lot of these quarterback controversies divide a locker room. The key, as a pro, is to be a pro.
As long as you know what you are doing and how to anticipate and throw, I don’t think you need all that much physically.
I am glad that I was given the chance. I knew I could still play at a high level.
I expected to play well, I expected to lead my team, and I expected to win.
My friends said, ‘You’re crazy, enjoy single life.’ But that’s not for me.
I think Marshawn Lynch is the most important player in this football game.
I’ve always had confidence.
LeSean McCoy has become the most exciting player in the National Football League. I believe he’s the MVP this year.
I want to win. That’s the most important thing.
I got my career started late so, even though I’m getting older, I don’t have as much wear and tear on my arm. I feel good. I really do.
I’ve done it for a long time and I didn’t expect it to be any different here.
I think there was always that question mark of why am I not in St. Louis anymore? I think everybody had those questions and probably had those perceptions of me.
As I get older, I might need to keep the stubble off. As the years come, it helps to look younger I guess.
Nobody knew who I was.
They’re willing to let Matt sit and wait until they believe he’s ready and I can’t do the best I’m capable of doing. I’m completely comfortable with that.
