“You know what? For myself, I kind of like the spy because it takes another guy out of coverage or another guy out of rushing.”

“Just be who you are and respect everyone you meet.”

“If I can walk, I can play.”

“I understand that football is only a certain time in my life, and my degree will help me sustain my life well past football.”

“The best leaders adapt and are flexible with their situations. I try to be the same.”

“It is hard sometimes, we live in a world where results and all these things matter.”

“When I get off the phone with my parents, usually I'm in a good spot.”

“I always try to make it a point when I'm talking to guys to say we. It's not you need to do this, it's what can we do better. It makes it more of a family culture.”

“I don't really compare myself to anyone. Growing up, sure you have your favorite players or guys you try to emulate, but I'm just trying to be the best me I can be.”

“That's what is cool about football: you build life-long relationships.”

“Other people's opinions don't matter to me.”

“I'd love to play for the Jets.”

“As an athlete, as a competitor, any person would tell you they're the best. I truly believe that in myself.”

“My mentality as a competitor will never change.”

“I would love to play for the Bucs. But that being said, I think if you find the team that wants you, that's going to be the right team.”

“I'm definitely a reps guy. I'm definitely a mental guy, so when I'm out there and I get the opportunity to practice, it means the world to me.”

“It's such a great honor to be a part of the Subway Famous Fan Family.”

“Biggest influence is my parents. It's funny but my mom was the first one that allowed me to play tackle football. My dad was not ready to let me play yet. She definitely was the one who allowed me to do it. Obviously my dad taught me to throw and be a quarterback.”

“I'm big into water. I tend to get dehydrated pretty quickly, so water is my way to get those essentials that I need to continue a workout or go get the rest of the day.”

“I just try to be who I am.”
