I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.

My parents did a great job raising me and my two sisters. We all graduated from high school and we all graduated from college. So, to be a good representative of my family is probably my greatest accomplishment thus far.

Teams are going to try to hit me because they think I can't take a hit. I think I've proven over my career that I can.

As a quarterback, obviously, you're going to be put in the forefront whether you like it or not, and if you're not then you're not doing your job.

We have to play as a team every game.

When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up. We weren't very good, but we learned about hard work and enjoying life and your teammates.

Sports have an amazing way of banding people together from all walks of life, building relationships that would have never happened.

I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.
