hard-work pay talent
Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
land political tyranny
In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness.
smart thinking able
I like to think I'm pretty smart with what I was able to do academically, but whenever I get on the field I turn into the Incredible Hulk and I am unstoppable.
running firsts threat
There's just a misconception that comes with being a dual-threat quarterback. You run first, throw second. I've proven I throw first and then run if I have to.
country exercise fighting
To me, it's not necessarily about whom you vote for, it's more about the fact that you go out and exercise that right. There's a lot of people who fight for our right to vote and people in other countries fighting for other peoples' right to vote and I think everyone should exercise that vote.
nfl done talent
It's not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone's got it. It's about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best and that's something that I've always done.
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.
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.
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.
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.
