“I think, as people, we deal with struggles.”

“I'm just a quarterback. I'm just who I am.”

“I know when I listen to people speak and they share their weaknesses, I'm listening, because I can resonate.”

“I just want to thank the good Lord for giving me the ability to play the game I love.”

“I loved my time in Philadelphia. I loved the fanbase, the people, and they will tell you the same thing.”

“Keeping our priorities straight, our faith, our family, and values will keep us grounded.”

“Really focusing on what I have to do right now... no matter what role I'm playing - it alleviates everything around me and makes everything a lot more simple.”

“I've always tried to live in the moment.”

“When you are having a rough day... you think you are failing. But failure is a part of life. It's about building character and growing.”

“I'm into scripture every day.”

“I only care about winning and putting points on the board.”

“That alleviates a lot of the pressure when you know every single guy is playing for each other.”

“In sports, everything is a process.”

“Nobody aspires to be a backup. And although I take great pride in the supporting roles I've played in both Philadelphia and Kansas City, part of me still cringes every time I hear myself described that way. Not only is it limiting and one-dimensional, it doesn't come close to describing who I really am.”

“I have fun, but I don't always want it to be on camera.”

“You just want to put the ball in play, whether I want to throw it downfield and it's not there, so I check it down, and it's a productive play and let the running back get a first down. Just keep the chains moving.”

“I think there are different kinds of quarterbacks, and if you look at any offense, there are different kind of quarterbacks, but you play to the strengths of whoever the quarterback is for the team.”

“Coach Pederson is the one who drafted me. He was the only coach who flew down to Texas and worked me out. I was only worked out by one team, and that was by Coach Pederson... the Philadelphia Eagles took a chance on me.”

“I think, as a quarterback and a leader, it's not necessarily what you do in the limelight. Obviously, you want guys handling themselves in an appropriate manner for the organization and the team, but you need to be who you are. If you're a guy who does that and can be a leader, and naturally that's what you want to do, awesome.”

“Everything you do in life is a process that you work at it, and you can't give up.”
