football growing-up thinking
I still don't think it's sunk in that I won the Heisman. I'll be able to reflect back on the season, appreciate those types of things and realize that although I wanted to 'be like Mike' when I was growing up, now I get to go out and be in the NFL.
football thinking needs
I think I'm starting to figure out when I need to get rid of it and when I don't need to.
running football thinking
I think I've proven that I'm throw-first, and then run if I need to.
football thinking play
I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
team thinking careers
Teams are going to try to hit me because they think I can't take a hit. I think I've proven over my career that I can.
team thinking play
Whenever you can relate to the population of the team that you play for, I think it makes it that much more special.
smart thinking able
I like to think I'm pretty smart with what I was able to do academically, but whenever I get on the field I turn into the Incredible Hulk and I am unstoppable.
running moon thinking
Warren Moon and Doug Williams really didn't run that much. That's the negative stereotype when it comes to African-American quarterbacks, that most of us just run. Those guys threw it around. I like to think I can throw it around a little bit.
thinking people guy
Sometimes people think it's what you say when you're in a huge group that makes you a leader. But sometimes it's the one-on-one conversations you have with guys individually, just getting to know them. I think I've done that a lot. Not intentionally - it just happens.
thinking play balls
The day I think about throwing the ball away at the beginning of a play, I should stop playing.
thinking guy trying
I try to keep my confidence on the charts, but I'm a confident guy as well. You've got to be that way. If you don't think that you're the best, then you won't perform that way.
clicked clicks god gotten hard hours thank work
I wasn't a rebel. It kind of clicked in my head, like, if I want to do this, I can go out and do it. Some kids, it clicks for them, and it doesn't work out. But thank God for me it did work out. I put in all those hard hours of work, and it has gotten me to where I am.
mom dad years
My dad served 21 years and my mom did 13, so through that process, they taught me that I always have to give back.
blessed goal community
I just try to make sure every day that I'm blessed to live on this earth that I seize that day. I'm 25 and, you know, I know with each passing second, I'm getting older. So, I might well seize every single one of those seconds and make sure I'm doing as much as I possibly can in the community to know we worked hard for this and to instill that into everybody around me is truly my goal.
