Seeing the same coverages, the same personnel, and for us to change the whole scenery, and bring somebody else in that's necessarily competitive, a professional competitiveness, where guys are respecting each other's careers, but yet are getting better. For us [players] to come out here and a get a win, I think it helped us with those practices.
There's no similarity between football and ballet, so this ain't ballet music being played on the field. I'm pumping something that's going to put me in a frame of mind to go to war, and something that's very high tempo and high beat.
I'm always open to discussing collaborations.
Growing up in Atlanta I always had a sense of what fashion was, a sense of style - my parents always talked about the importance of making a first impression and that's stayed with me.
The way I represent my individuality is by mixing classic pieces - like sports jackets - with little, unexpected additions.
Every time I come to Auburn it's nothing but love
I really believe that fashion, and dressing up, is a great way for guys to express and interact with their creativity.
I am a southern guy who likes dressing up and looking sharp but who lives a busy life of working and traveling, and I need reliable, stylish pieces in my wardrobe that will service multiple occasions.
Some people are afraid to dress in ways that they actually like because it might be different than what most people expect or how others dress.
Most of the time, I don't really give people a chance. I have a wall up. I'm always protecting who I am. Thinking about my brand. I make it hard on people. Sometimes, it's a good thing. Sometimes, it's a bad thing.
I know when it's getting close to game time, I create a different playlist for each and every game. Before the game, to game time, to warm-ups, going to the stadium, I have a different playlist that puts me in a different mode.
Music can bring about different vibes on the field, off the field, urban life, going to church, leaving church. Everything the world may bring, there's a song for it to put you in the right frame of mind.
Word of mouth travels faster than anything else.
I think for me, or for anyone who plays the quarterback position, it's almost an unspoken word when you think about leadership. Some guys can be a leader and be a running back or a lineman, or wide receiver, strong safety, or linebacker. But when you speak of quarterbacks, it's automatically a default that you're supposed to be a leader.
