It's a dream come true. I mean, when I was a kid, I used to dream about playing college football one day, and now I'm playing in the best conference, and I truly believe that.

I live by family over everything.

The main reason why I would even potentially go to the NFL Draft is for my family.

I want to win a national championship; that's been my dream since I was a child.

I wanted to be in the situation where I could have a chance to go to the NFL and be a great quarterback and take care of my family.

I have confidence in my players around me - my offensive line, my running backs, my wide receivers, and the defense and special teams.

Drew Brees, Kyle Orton, Curtis Painter - the recent legacy of quarterbacks at Purdue speaks for itself. I think it's 'Quarterback U.' The facilities are just beautiful. I didn't expect them to be as great as they were.

You just have to keep coming to work in order to be the best.

I have to just come to work every single day. That's not just on the field but off the field, because you have little kids looking up to you; your face is the face of this franchise and this university. You have to understand that every decision that you make is going to be criticized.

My parents work long, long shifts during the week and even on the weekend.

I feel like I have been able to rewrite my story to some extent. But I feel like there is a lot of work to be done.

I want to be remembered as the greatest quarterback who ever played. You have to go out and prove it first, and then you have to go out and work hard.
