I grabbed my mom and I went to the couch and I said, 'Mom I want to ask Jesus to come into my heart.' And I got on my knee and I asked Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, and make me a child of God.
I think you sign up to win games, and compete, and go out there and lead a team no matter how you can do that.
I try to learn from every experience, good or bad.
So much of how we act and what we do is based on humility or pride - that's everything. And when you can humble yourself, you know, we are more like Christ when we can humble ourselves.
I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don't want to let them down.
I'll always use the negativity as more motivation to work even harder and become even stronger.
Outside of football and training, I am somewhat of a homebody. Love hangin' out with my siblings and close friends.
The more divided people of color are in a system of white supremacy/privilege, the weaker they will be, both individually and collectively.
You’ve got to worry about the next play…Keep believing because people aren’t always going to like you but you have to believe in the people around you…You’re going to get knocked down but it’s how many times you get back up.
We play a sport. It's a game. At the end of the day, that's all it is, is a game. It doesn't make you any better or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you're no better. By losing a game, you're no worse. I think by keeping that mentality, it really keeps things in perspective for me to treat everybody the same.
I believe in my God-given athletic ability and the coaches that have been blessed around me. I believe I can do the job as a quarterback in the NFL.
The media will make a controversy out of anything, if they can.
You're going to have injuries, danger and glory in every sport. What makes football unique is that every person on that team needs to count on everybody else. It's the ultimate team game and you have to depend on your coaches, you have to depend on your support staff, you have to depend on your teammates.
I don't judge my success in life as a football player.
