Football is always going to be a means to an end. The physicality of the game - your body can't hold up. There's life after football, and I do worry. I don't want to put myself in jeopardy. I probably need to be more cautious, but this is me. It still isn't going to change the way I play.
I understand the business of the NFL.
My mindset is I'm a quarterback. But I love being on the field.
I kind of have one speed that I know, and that's to go as hard as I can.
It's cool to be a role model.
At the end of the day, I know me, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.
I love playing for BYU.
I'd much rather throw for a touchdown than run for one.
My mindset is to come in and compete.
At the end of the day, I want to have an opportunity to play quarterback in the NFL.
I love to compete. I love to be on the field.
I think that's one of the things I've learned through my injuries is that I need to play smarter.
I'm used to the natural role of a quarterback where everyone looks to you.
I understand football is a freaky sport, and injuries happen.
I'm going to go out and give it all I can, and it isn't going to be on my mind that I might get hurt. If it happens, it happens, and I'll be OK with whatever does happen.
I love competing, and I love throwing the football.
When I was young, I would try to give the right answers. 'I'm going to try to slide.' But at the end of the day, I finally realized that I am going to do whatever it takes. I'm going to leave everything out there.
It's cool that someone would be willing to pay to wear your jersey around.
The nice thing about BYU is that it takes in a wide area. There would be times where we'd travel and be on the road, and we'd have more fans than the home team that we're playing, a lot of really loyal fans.
I had a lot of ups and downs through my career at BYU, through different injuries and stuff. The fan bases have always been right there to pick me up and support me through all those injuries.
