“God has given me so many things along the way - a lot of stuff that I had no control over. God's had his hand in everything I've been able to accomplish.”

“Pilates works all the small muscles in your body and there's so much core that comes with it - and core is so important for a quarterback.”

“I work really hard. I'm a perfectionist.”

“I want to win every time I'm on the field.”

“At the end of the day, the way I go about it is don't let somebody else's opinion of you define who you are. Don't let other people's thoughts or whatever it is be true.”

“At the end of the day, you just want to be yourself because people can see when you're not.”

“You prepare each week to win, and for it to finally pay off, it is a big relief.”

“That's part of the process of the longer you play, you can help the guys around you.”

“I think you realize the opportunities that we have and how special it is, that my kids are going to get to grow up being in an NFL locker room, kind of running around.

“I feel my arm's gotten stronger, I've been more accurate with it, and I've just got to keep that going.”

“I'm not worried about any added pressure. I'm just worried about winning.”

“I try to have as much patience as possible.”

“One of the biggest pieces of advice I'd give you is: Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality. If you're in high school, there are definitely things being said about you. Don't let them determine who you are.”

“It's a quarterback-driven league, so quarterbacks get rewarded a lot of money.”

“I feel like I've always had a quick release.”
