couple race trying
There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.
country military exercise
I grew up in the military. I've lived that life. I know that our soldiers are out there fighting for our right to vote, and they're out there fighting for other countries' rights to vote... Guys have been dying for it, and we have to go out and exercise it.
determination dad school
You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from. The speed, the determination, the mindset, just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, it all comes from my dad.
football jobs trying
I don't do too much outside of football during football season, because this is my job and I take it seriously. I don't do too much, don't really go out at all that much, don't eat out or anything, try to stay focused and stay to myself.
football blow people
There's something about football that's exciting. The defense is trying to shut you down and you're trying to blow people up.
catalyst-for-change guy catalyst
You can be a catalyst for change but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
successful trying citizens
I try to associate myself as just being myself - and being a person, an American citizen, going out there every day and just trying to be successful.
friendship believe young
For me, a quarterback's best friend, especially a young quarterback's best friend, is a coach who believes in him.
football thinking play
I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
goal trying talent
That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.
football school player
I think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player.
football careers body
Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.
people tebow runners
People would say I'm more polished as a passer than Tebow and Cam, but I'm not as physical a runner. But I am 6'2, 223, and I can throw with the best of them.
running roles mold
You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
