dream trying week
Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I'm up for that.
falling-in-love team believe
I hope somebody falls in love with me - other than my fiancee. But that's what you want. As a player you want a team that really wants you; head coach, GM, owner, everybody that really wants you in their place and the players believe in you. I'm looking forward to making somebody fall in love with me.
jobs hands campaigns
My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.
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 years division
The Redskins haven't won the division since 1999, and we came in and we did it in one year!
football people want
I don't want people to say I'm a solid quarterback. I want to be the best, and I'll continually work until I get there.
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.
basketball football play
I'd love to play basketball with the president, or throw the football around or something like that.
football college paper
I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.
football player speed
The speed will increase and the players will be better, but also the players around you will be a lot better. It all cancels itself out.
football littles able
Last time I checked I was able to throw the ball a little bit.
football believe play
The only reason you get drafted or even looked at by the NFL is because they believe you can play at the next level ... if they believe I can do that, you know I believe I can do it.
running football thinking
I think I've proven that I'm throw-first, and then run if I need to.
team heart matter
I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that.
