disaster guys improve move slow step taken test tried
It's one of those things you can't go into full-bore, ... You need to see what you're comfortable with and test it and move on from there step by step. It can be a disaster if you don't do it right. If you try to do too much, guys are confused. We've taken it really slow and tried to improve on it.
against blowing giving great job move open phenomenal plenty pocket room step throws
They did a phenomenal job of blowing open the pocket and giving me plenty of room to step into throws and move around. Now they know it's on them again. They're going against a great D line.
ahead extension fairly game move quarter ready running second strength
Probably the first quarter is getting the flex and the extension back in your leg, and I have done that fairly quickly. I was ahead of the game on that. Now I'll move into the second phase, which is strength and conditioning, and then I'll move into running and jumping, and then I'll be ready to go.

No comparison. That first year, you don't know what to expect. You're not sure of yourself. You haven't taken a snap against a defense. There really is no comparison.

I personally believe that professional athletes should give back to their communities in any way possible. We are in a position to make a difference.
athlete thinking people
So many people get caught up in being a pro athlete and think they are better. I don't feel like I've ever changed or acted any differently because of the situation I'm in or that status I have.
dream kids thinking
Every kid thinks about the Heisman Trophy and dreams about it, but you never think it could happen to you.
