Being outspoken about my faith isn't just something that I do; it's who I am because my faith isn't just a little piece of my life. It is my life. It's not a question of whether I'm outspoken about it or not. I'm definitely not ashamed of it.
This is a very big day in my life. This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
Chris Leak's a great quarterback. I'm not going to worry about (trying to get playing time). I'm just going to train as hard as I can, and that's all I can do.
It's just a very exciting time at the University of Florida. And I want to be part of it.
It's exciting, a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. It's an awesome experience. I just try to work hard and run the offense as good as possible. I had a lot of guys around me who made a lot of good plays to help me out.
They needed more of a commitment from me towards them. It was a mutual thing. We'll still talk to their coaches because they are friends.
When you try to be a role model, not everybody can relate to some of your highs - awards, championships. But everybody can relate to the lows. Everybody's gotten fired from a job or gotten cut. People learn more about you in those lows than they do in the highs.
I know how important it is. I've been working really hard, trying to get better every day. I'm trying to learn as much as possible.
I'm going to mess up. But I'm going to get back, you know, and get after it and try to do better the next day.
And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.
Before a game, you know, I can take off my helmet, run over there and spend a few moments with someone who is dealing with so much more than I've ever had to deal with and to love on them and care about them and in front of thousands and thousands of people, you know, let them know that they're more important than all of this.
Something I always try to practice is be anxious for nothing, but let your request be known to God.
When we win, I'm excited about winning. That way, I get the ups and downs of a football season. But I also know that it's never as good as it seems; it's never as bad as seems. You always have to stay focused because you never know, for me. My role, it could expand. So you just got to always be ready.
When people meet me, I hope that they say this: 'This is a guy who, number one, loves the Lord, but he also loves people, and he wants to make a difference in people's life. And he wants to help everyone he comes in contact with, and he is genuine, he is real, and he cares about people.'
