“I had a lot of stats in college, and they didn't count for wins. So whatever it takes to win football games is the goal that I set.”

“I think, as quarterback and as a football player, you always want to get better.”

“When you go into a game, and there's something that was drawn up the way it was supposed to be drawn up, and you missed the throw or the catch, as a receiver, it's something where you feel b...”

“I was a good student and stuff like that.”

“I'm definitely not for any haunted houses. They're all scary to me.”

“You can't have a good Thanksgiving meal without a little bit of ketchup on the side.”

“It's not like I mean to throw no-look passes. I think it kind of happens out of instinct. As I do it, I'm like, 'Dang, I didn't even mean to do that.'”

“In the pocket, I usually keep two hands on the ball.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“The quarterbacks that win... those are the quarterbacks that are talked about for being great.”

“When I scramble and do those things, I try to look downfield, look for the playmakers, put it in their hands, and let them make all the big plays happen.”

“Good third-down teams are teams that usually have success in this league.”

“I have to make those tight-window throws, and trying to make those plays is the reason I have had success.”

“For me, it's always fun. You're playing football and living out your dream.”
