I want to help kids when I'm no longer here, when I'm dead and gone. I want to help kids when I don't have the energy and the time to help them but somehow still find a way to make a difference.
When I have a family someday, I'll probably adopt. Adoption has always been something close to my heart. There are so many kids out there who really need a family.
I want to support kids that not a lot of people believe in. Give them an opportunity to do good in school, play sports and get scholarships.
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.
My passion is kids, more than just kids is underprivileged kids and orphans.
Helping raise money for kids - there's nothing better than that.
Regardless of what happens, I still honor my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because at the end of the day, that's what's important, win or lose. ... We need to get back to one nation under God, and be role models for kids,
It happens pretty much a lot of the time. They just say thanks for coming.
And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.
Before a game, you know, I can take off my helmet, run over there and spend a few moments with someone who is dealing with so much more than I've ever had to deal with and to love on them and care about them and in front of thousands and thousands of people, you know, let them know that they're more important than all of this.
Something I always try to practice is be anxious for nothing, but let your request be known to God.
When you try to be a role model, not everybody can relate to some of your highs - awards, championships. But everybody can relate to the lows. Everybody's gotten fired from a job or gotten cut. People learn more about you in those lows than they do in the highs.
There aren't many guys like him. He's going to be a good receiver for us. He really makes the quarterback look a lot better than he is. He made me look better on a lot of plays.
They needed more of a commitment from me towards them. It was a mutual thing. We'll still talk to their coaches because they are friends.
