My dad thinks I have a photographic memory.
I've always been a guy who's very confident in my own abilities.
I know how to lead.
I used to have the mindset of worrying about everybody else's opinions, trying to please everybody, but that's not going to happen.
I think I thrive under the spotlight; I live for a big moment.
I learned, for me to play at my best, I need to play with an edge.
I can listen to all the people patting me on the back, or I can listen to the people saying I need to get better. I know I need to get better, or else there would be nobody saying that.
I had to overcome a lot of things, but with that, I've inspired a lot of people.
Community service has been a great thing for me.
I get true joy out of that, being able to help people.
If you're not gonna do it right off the field, who's to say we trust you on the field?
My mom and I used to dance to the Jackson 5 in our living room.
I am a huge Justin Timberlake fan.
At an early age, it was always trying to root for the Sooners. When Jason White won, it was awesome running around my living room like I won it. I've always had fun watching the Heisman ceremony.
I know how to work. Not everything was given to me.
I had to play the cards that I was dealt to get better mentally, physically, and push myself to limits that I didn't think I was capable of.
There's always instances where you want those throws back, but the worst part about it is that I can't redo it.
You can't beat the Cotton Bowl. There's nothing like that.
I always have that in the back of my head - the idea that I've been spoon-fed because of where I'm from. I think that's one of the main things that drives me to work harder to show that, in reality, I haven't been handed anything.
I appreciate all the kids who come up and enjoy my play at OU. But everybody giving me their opinions is where I draw the line. If it's someone who hasn't been there before, I really can't handle it. It's 'Slide more.' 'Don't take as many hits.' 'Get out of bounds.' I know they have my best interests at heart. I just have to remind myself of that.
