“Never change who you are, and be the best you can be.”

I didn’t start playing football a lot until I was in high school. I played it in seventh and eighth grade, but I didn’t play Pop Warner or anything.

I was a good student and stuff like that.

Kids in sports – it makes such an impact in life with the lessons that you learn.

I feel like, even if something goes wrong, I have confidence in myself and my team that we’ll fix it.

Until you get there, you never know what to expect.

East Texas isn’t known for producing quarterbacks. I was never really on the football circuit. I wasn’t the type of guy that put my name out there.

It’s a challenge for all quarterbacks, though: You want to make the big play; you want to throw a touchdown every single play. But at the same time, you have to know that it’s a process.

I have a lot of guys around me that help make my job easier.

I just try to be the best Patrick Mahomes I can be.

You have to learn and develop from every experience you see on the field. I might see an unscouted blitz. I might see different coverages than I’m expecting. So I need to process and make those adjustments as I go.

Now do I get some time off? Do I get a bonus? Do I get to go on a cruise? But it’s not to keep trying to be the best. That’s not necessarily human nature.

Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.

Best Man Holiday’ was a very successful film.

You do the best you can with what’s thrown at you, then you try again.

The best way to make your audience laugh is to start laughing yourself.

It’s been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it’s personally, academically, or athletically.

I don’t remember as a kid wanting to do or be anything else but drive something, be a race driver.

You teach best what you most need to learn.
