To be compared to Brett Favre is pretty special, but he was his own player, and so am I. I'm not trying to be Brett Favre, Jr., the second coming. I want to be myself, and I want to be the best to ever play.
I was fortunate enough to do a docu-series throughout the draft process, but I did that to show the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Expectations are one thing, but you've got to do your own. Got to do your own.
Any win feels great. It is hard to do.
I have to command the offense. I have to command the team. I have to bring a spark and give us a chance to win.
Anytime you can get the crowd to be a factor, kudos to the crowd.
Football is hard to have success. It is tough to do your job.
It doesn't matter the position you're in. If you're not going to work hard, then you're not doing it right.
I am going to be myself. To me, that is going to take care of the rest.
When you can have a relationship that's like that to where everything is out in the open, you are up front, and there is open communication, it makes for a great relationship.
You're not always going to have a perfect day. You're not always going to have the day that you envision.
It is nice to get reps and to slowly build that timing and chemistry. To be able to do that, you start to get into a rhythm.
I don't think I'm over-the-top cocky, I'm just proud of where I came from.
I'm not trying to please everybody. I'm just trying to play for one team and do it the right way.
Football is a violent, competitive game. That's the way it was always meant to be played. You are supposed to play with an edge. You are actually supposed to impose your will on the other person to win.
Within football, there is a lot of trash talk, a lot of stuff that's not been made aware to everybody.
Teams ask me about my character, but until you sit down and talk to me directly, you might have image that's portrayed in stories or headlines. But I love the game, I'm up front and honest, I know exactly what I'm about, and that's the most important thing.
You've got to play to your players' talents.
There are a lot of things I would take back, off the field, to be a franchise guy.
I'm confident I can show exactly what I'm about, how much I care about football, and how I'd do anything to win.
