I play for my passion. I could care less about first-round money to seventh-round money.
If I could be like any other quarterback that played in the National Football League, I would have to say Brett Favre is the guy. Besides the injuries and the hits and everything, he had a pretty successful career. He's a Hall of Famer for sure, multiple Super Bowls, and that's something that I look forward to doing.
I hate to consider myself a celebrity.
I shy away from celebrity status because I don't want to be known as that guy. But I had a chance to partake in the events and the festivities of the Kentucky Derby, and that was a huge honor.
The comparison to Willie Beamen - that was pretty harsh, but everything happens for a reason and like I said, you can't control it.
Basically, I have to stop overthinking.
Put on the game tape. The game tape speaks volumes because I'm in live action, I'm out there making reads, going through progressions, redirection protection, signaling hot routes, getting the offense in and out of the right play.
I've been advised by guys who have played in the NFL and guys who have my best interests.
When I was in third grade, I promised my mom that I would get her a pink Cadillac Escalade.
I know that I have the ability to keep a play alive.
I know that if something isn't open down field I can take advantage of my legs and make a play.
Each game is important.
I'm just going to go out and prove that I'm the best guy.
I'm just confident in myself and my capability to be able to play this position.
To play this position you have to have durability.
I'm just going to continue focusing on becoming a better football player, attacking the offseason with the mindset of getting stronger and doing everything that I can to show that when the time comes, I'm ready to play football.
When I'm tough on myself, I'm never satisfied.
I'm eager to just get better each and every day.
Sometimes you do get too tough on yourself and you do think the impossible, but that's just the way I want to be.
I want to think that I can do the impossible. I'm just going to continue to think that way. I'm just going to continue to think that way and motivate myself.
