“I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again.”

You can always regret just missing it, but as a football player, you have to move on to the next play.

Playing the scout-team quarterback in practice really helped develop my game.

The team aspect of football and just playing quarterback, having the ball in your hands, having to make the plays, that was definitely something I loved.

Every experience, good or bad, you have to learn from.

I want people to know that I’m going to leave every single thing on the field.

You can have the big arm, and that’s good, and it helps out in the games, but it doesn’t help you necessarily win games.

If you want to win games in this league, you have to be efficient.
