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 mean player
You know, I started this process of being a football player and I'm going to make it to the NFL very soon and I plan on finishing that. And by 'finishing that,' I mean that I'm going to go out and be the best that I can be and put everything forth to make that happen.
color games play
I don't play too much into the color game, because I don't want to be the best African American quarterback, I want to be the best quarterback.
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.
mom dad war
I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.
self color race
My parents raised me to not ever look at race or color, so it doesn't have a big part in my self-identity.
team thinking careers
Teams are going to try to hit me because they think I can't take a hit. I think I've proven over my career that I can.

That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.
games play guy
I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.
games nfl accomplishment
Making it to the NFL is a huge accomplishment. Making it in the NFL is a huge accomplishment, but I haven't done that yet. No matter how many games we've played, it's still hard to figure out when you've made it in the NFL.
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.
