My dad, being a businessman, constantly talked to me about carrying myself in a certain way and treating people with respect. And I think that's something that's carried over throughout my life. It's how I deal with certain situations.

I'll always be a fan of coach Harbaugh. Not too sure about Michigan.

When I'm actually getting off the bus, I still have my gospel playing. That's the way-to-the-game kind of music.

I have great respect for the religion. I know a lot of people that are Muslim and are phenomenal people.

If you work hard and perform well, it doesn't matter whether you're 20 or 40. People are going to follow, and you can go in there and run the show.

I don't believe in pressure. The pressure is not being prepared for what you want to do.

You have full-field view when you're watching the film. Eye in the sky, it's a lot easier to look at it that way than when you're back behind center.

I never felt that I was supposed to be white. Or black, either. My parents just wanted to let me be who I needed to be.

I'd say that, 99 percent of the time at Nevada, I knew what the coverage was and where I was probably going before the ball was snapped. It makes it very easy when I only had to read one person and know that I was going from here to here, and if not, I'm checking it down.

I'm here to play football.

Feelings aren't going to help me win a game.

Whether football's here or not, I will be fine. I go out, I play to win.

I felt the way people talked to me was like, 'It's OK to be No. 2 in the NFL, a backup,' and things like that. That's never been my approach.

If I got a football scholarship, I was going to be a football player.

There are a lot of details to running that I never even thought about. I just went out and ran. I think I can be faster. I think I can be quicker.

I think being shy or a little bit more mild-mannered is more how you treat people and how you go about your business, not necessarily how you dress or things of that nature.

In the heat of the battle, it's always different than when you go back and look at it on film.

Jim Tomsula is going to be great coach for us. Players' coach. Always around the guys. Someone that's willing to listen to what the players say and has their intake.

People can talk all they want; that doesn't affect how I go about my business.

To me, I've played full seasons and had success. Mentally, I've been through it before. I'm not incapable of going through this.

I love America.

You have to be able to do everything as a quarterback, and that's not necessarily taking care of your job but making sure you're preparing everyone else to go out and play well. And make sure you have them in the right mindset when they step on the field.

The NFL is a performance-based business, so you should have to perform to earn some of your money. At the same time, I realize that my success isn't just because of what I do out there.

You have to take care of the ball to win football games.
