“I just continue to do what's been expected of me, do it more and do the best I can at my role. I feel like everything else will take care of itself.”
“You ask my teammates, any coaches I've been a part of, I would think they would say I've been one of the best teammates they've had.”
“I'm completely confident in my abilities and there's no question about it.”
“I work to be more than just a deep threat.”
“My job isn't only to come make plays, but it's also to pass that game along to the next generation.”
“We have to have an internal clock: 'OK, our quarterback is under duress, we need to get open faster than normal.'”
“I know that I can play this game at a high level, whether someone thinks it or not.”
“That's an area I have to understand. Everything can't be 100 mph.”

“We don't play to lose, at least from a player's standpoint.”
“As far as myself, just come in and be who I am, do what I have to do, and I'm pretty sure that will be enough.”
“I think it's always important that you give back, but especially to the community that had an impact on you, you grew up in.”
“One thing I was sure of is I wasn't going to be out-worked. You might be talented. You might be better. But if me and you get on the treadmill, the only way you'll beat me is if I die.”
