“You have to be secure with the ball. You can’t lose it.”

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.

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

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

I was that little kid: I was the one that was looking up to athletes and getting to see them and getting to be a part of it, and I remember those experiences.

You dream of your first NFL start when you’re a little kid, playing football in the backyard, but until you get there, you never know what to expect.

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.

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.

Jesus did not promise to change the circumstances around us. He promised great peace and pure joy to those who would learn to believe that God actually controls all things.

A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It’s played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player’s control.

The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.

Visualization is the human being’s vehicle to the future – good, bad, or indifferent. It’s strictly in our control.

I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Waiting for the end to come, Wishing I had strength to stand, This is not what I had planned, It’s out of my control.

Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.
