I'm not fast, so I have to be able to throw from the pocket.

When a play breaks down, yeah, I've been blessed with the ability to make plays.

Before the game, getting guys in the right mindset and confident - you play well when you're confident. People can say 'cockiness' or whatever, but there are results when you play with a confidence and you believe in yourself.

I've always been a guy to keep positive energy on the sideline.

I just want the team to win, no matter what the cost is.

I would never put myself before my mom.

I love being around my teammates, and I love leading and having responsibility.

I'll do anything it takes to win.

Everybody wants to portray the bad boy, the Johnny Manziel stuff, but I love the game of football. There's no doubt about that.

I'm always competitive.

Everything along the way has made me the competitor I am.

I say it all the time: Texas high school football. It's no joke. It's a big deal. And when you get good coaches like I had at Lake Travis, and then you play other good programs, it develops you very quickly, and it gets you going.

TCU - they told me they were going to offer me a scholarship and kind of drug it out. I told other schools I wasn't interested because I thought I was going to be there. They disappointed me and kind of hung me out to dry right before signing day.

All the different coaches and styles of play I've seen helped me develop, to relate to my teammates.

Always have self-confidence because that can take you a long way.

I was confident in my ability. It's why I decided to walk on to a bigger school, in the Big 12: because I was confident in myself.

I don't think I'd hold back if I ever had a conversation with anybody that truly passed up on me.

If I came in with the mindset of just being happy that I got drafted and just to settle for a backup job, that wouldn't be myself.

It's important to have a say in your off-the-field brand and what you're doing, your sponsorships, what you want to be represented by, and the image you want to have.

I've set up my goals, and I go after them, and if I do that each day, the rest will take care of itself.

Having been through some adversity, starting from different points and having to work through the depth chart on many occasions, it's definitely helped my story.

You've got to have the same attitude each day. You've got to show up to work.

Without pressure, I don't think this would be very much fun, without all the people watching and finding joy in this game.

I love this game, and without the competitive nature, I wouldn't enjoy it.
