I'll give my heart and soul whenever I step on that field and even when I'm on the sidelines. And at the end of the day, that's really all you can ask of someone.
How many people are not as good as they could be at their job because they don't love it? They're not passionate about it. If you don't like something, why are you doing it?
I didn't want to be like everyone else. I wanted to be better. If I did what everybody else did, then why would you look up to me? Why would I set an example?
I know how important it is. I've been working really hard, trying to get better every day. I'm trying to learn as much as possible.
It happens pretty much a lot of the time. They just say thanks for coming.
You can't lose confidence in yourself, or you've lost already. When you get knocked down, you've got to keep getting back up.
You just try to be nice to everybody and treat them all the same. Treat them how you would want to be treated.
For me, it's a great opportunity on a public platform to get on your knees and humble myself and thank the Lord for all the blessings he's put in my life.
We have to humble ourselves and the way you do that is by serving other people.
There are several things that keep me grounded and focused... When you can humble yourself to say 'I'm no more important than anyone else. I just have a gift.'
It's not always the easiest thing to be the center of so much spilled ink.
I had the opportunity to go into the hospitals and talk to kids and see a kid and make him smile. Why? Because I'm a special person? No. It had nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with me being the quarterback at the University of Florida. And to not take advantage of that is a shame.
What's so amazing in today's society is people look up to football players. And as a football player, you have a platform. And it's so much more important than any touchdown or trophy or anything you could win with football. Its taking that platform and be able to influence people.
Regardless of whatever I do, I know what my purpose is: to make a difference in people's lives.
