“Something I remind myself every day, just do your job to the best of your ability and that's the most important thing.”

“I love when people think it's going to be easy to guard me.”

“For us, we're homebodies. My wife and I like to be at home with family.”

“I really am genuinely happy for guys that get paid and have success when they actually work their tails off.”

“For me, I'm just trying to keep getting better.”

“It's really nice to be able to go into the offseason and attack the training as soon as possible.”

“It doesn't matter who you are in this league: You're always trying to have a bigger role. Anybody who said they weren't trying to do that would be lying.”

“Money is good and everything, but championships are what it's about.”

“I just want to make sure that I'm competing every day and giving my best effort, because everything else just falls into place.”

“In high school I just loved to compete and play sports. I didn't have a sport that I was going to say, 'Hey, I'm going to play this at the next level.' Whatever my best opportunity was was what I was going to do.”

“In the NFL, there's never really that moment where you're like, Hey, I made the team. Or: Hey, you made the practice squad. You just kind of show up the next day and go to work. Nobody really says anything. You just kind of go to work.”

“I think everybody individually does things a little differently. As a quarterback, every quarterback has their strengths and their weaknesses.”

“I love to compete and I hate failing.”

“When I was early in my career, I really followed Twitter, seeing what people were saying about me. I definitely saw them talking about Mr. Mankato and all that. It was fun for me to have a little bit of extra support from outside people. I definitely helped me build confidence, that's for sure.”

“I really try to avoid looking at or thinking about my stats because I'm just trying to do my part in winning games.”

“The whole goal was to get an opportunity to go somewhere for OTAs because OTAs in this league are extremely important, especially for undrafted guys and guys who are on the bubble. You don't get a lot of opportunities in preseason games and training camp, so OTAs are huge.”

“You have a little more time to make moves when you're in the slot.”

“I love when people doubt me. I love when people don't think that I'm good enough to play at a certain level, not good enough to be a starter, things like that. That's the stuff that drives me.”

“We actually had a toilet on the sideline in college. We had like a little mini-toilet; we'd go and flush it.”

“That's something you work on Day 1. You never stop your route.”
