My workout routine changed pretty dramatically in the NFL. Workout programs from college to the NFL are significantly different.
Listen, trials and difficult times can help you become better and move forward, or they can cause you to step backward. It's how you handle those situations that shows who you can become.
I had an expectation going into the NFL, and then the experience that I had exceeded what I expected to see from people that played at that level. And so, it was a learning experience not only from a mental standpoint and a physical standpoint, but just a routine standpoint.
I don't want to put off negative vibes to my teammates. That's kind of my leadership mentality.
My leadership mentality is to outwork everybody else around me, and hopefully the guys respond well to that and work harder for themselves.
I'm totally comfortable with taking some risk, but as long as it's doctrinated in something that makes sense.
It's not a ton of fun being a backup quarterback.
I look up to my brother so much. I look at a lot of my competitiveness and motivation to play, and excel in, college football. It came from him.
When I came to BYU, I had no idea what I wanted to study. It really was a decision based on football. I wanted to come here and play football. The decision has turned out to be so much more than football.
Being paid as a professional athlete didn't change how hard I was working because I'm always going to do that, whether it's the weight room or the film room.
As far as the NFL experience, it's difficult. It's a ton of fun, but it's difficult.
