I grew up with pretty much nothing - in the hood, the ghetto - whatever you want to call it.

I love the work, love the grind. I love what I have to go through to get what I want.

My mom said it's always positive vibes. I love good vibes, and that's what I get off people all of the time. That's what I want to give out to other people is those vibes and to have hope and dreams and to build that confidence and be encouraged to do whatever they want in life if they put their mind to it.

I'm self-motivated. I'm motivated for myself to be the best I can be - for me to do that, I have to have my own motivation, my own positive energy.

Depending on who we're playing, it's just kind of, like, a little starstruck. You know, because these are guys that... I'm playing against Tom Brady or Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, guys like that that I've been watching since high school, that's been doing crazy things.

Between lunch and dinner, I try and snack on fruit and granola.

I have some muscle on me where I can take those hits.

When I'm on the field, I'm locked in, focused on my job. I try to have a positive play and try to get points on the board.

When we get in the red zone, we have the mentality that we're trying to get points. We're not satisfied with three points. We're trying to get touchdowns each time we get in there.

Clemson was the best three years of my life.

You correct the mistakes, and you move on.

No one can beat Momma. She made me the person I am today - the way I think and act and move and talk and speak. It's all because of her.

At first, after my freshman year, it was kind of a joke, going into my sophomore year like, 'Hey, I wanna graduate in three years, two-and-a-half.' And we were just kind of playing with it, added some extra classes in, and then once I finished that following spring going into that next summer, it was just like, 'Hey, I can actually do it.'

I'm a competitor. I'm going to compete each and every day to get better.

I think about my mom and the things she went through, and things could always be a lot worse.

As a rookie, I worked with my agent and the training staff to figure out what diet works for my body naturally.

I try to do the right things. I was always raised that if you do the right thing and obey the law, you won't have problems. I really believe that. But that's just me; that's what I've tried to do because that's how my mother raised me.

I'm a southern boy raised in Gainesville, Georgia, so it's natural for me to want fast food and sweet tea, but those are the things I've had to cut back on.

It started with my mom; she always wanted me to get my degree and graduate.

I grew up an Urban Meyer fan. I loved the way he coached, loved the way he did things.

Football is just like life. You have to manage adversity all the time. You have to do the right things and be ready for the moment.

Clemson was a special place, and I've enjoyed every single moment.

We barely had lights, but my mom always made sure we had food on the table and somewhere to sleep.

I try to act as a man of character if no one is watching or if the world is watching.

Health has always been my first priority. If it's something that is going to make it worse, or if I'm not cleared by the doctors, then, you know, I won't step on the field.

It's just something I always dreamed about when I was little. I always thinking about playing in an All-American game, and the Under Armour All-America Game was the one game I always wanted to play in, so once I got the opportunity and invite, I chose it.

It's a privilege to be in this position, to have people want to talk to me, to have people want to hear my story and hear what's going on, because it can easily be on the flip side, and no one wants to talk to me, no one respects me one-on-one, no one in the stands wearing my jersey. It's a blessing.

It doesn't matter my size. It's more a mindset. That's what people don't understand. It's the size the media talks about, but they don't know my heart.

815 is the neighborhood I was born and raised in; 815 Harrison Square is the exact name. It's in Gainesville, Georgia.

I'm the best player in the country. That's how I think. That's how I feel.

If I have the opportunity to go to the NFL, I'm going to take it.

I'm not Superman.

I'm human. I make mistakes.

God doesn't make mistakes.

The one thing I learned early on as a football player is people have their opinions, and I can't change them. But I can show them what they're missing.

People have assumed that I have to run the ball before I can throw it most all of my career, all the way back before high school. It's a stereotype put on me for a long time because I'm African-American, and I'm a dual-threat quarterback.

People think, 'Oh, he's a black quarterback, he must be dual-threat.' People throw around that word all the time. It's lazy.

I watched Tim Tebow and how he played and how he carried himself and the good that he did for the game on and off the field. I knew that's what I wanted to do.

If a franchise wants me, they'll take me.

If they want me to run the ball, I'll run it.

I just go out there and play.

Coach OB is fun to play for. He's very tough on you. He wants you to be successful.

There's no timeline from ACLs. People give you five, six, seven, eight months to come back.

I've dealt with adversity before, had injuries before. I didn't let that slow me down. It just changed my attitude about the game.

We just got to capitalize in the red zone. Don't turn the ball over.

For me, I just try to do what's best for the team.

I've played through a lot of injuries before, as a young kid through high school.

It's not overwhelming or shocking to play against the SEC, like most fans think.

I love all people, and that's what I focus on.

I can't control other people, what their beliefs are.
