Zitat des Tages von Carson Wentz:
Honestly, I always told my coaches my whole career - we'll practice two-minute drills in practice, like, once a week and everything - I'm just like, 'Those are my favorite time of football.' I'm out there in total control, just getting everything lined up, getting everybody on the same page, and obviously, usually it's pass after pass after pass.
I'm not an idiot; I can make adjustments to my life. But I like having a schedule.
I hate losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be the best at whatever it is I'm doing.
We have a culture at NDSU that's about the team first.
I do have a little chip on my shoulder. I want to make a name for this state. I want to represent this state well so that's kinda the chip on my shoulder in that regard.
I view every day just as an opportunity.
If you throw the ball 60 times, you are going to make miss some of them. That kind of happens.
Names that come to mind that I've learned from are Tom Brady - the way he gets the ball out and is so decisive. You can tell he is in total control out there. Another name is Aaron Rodgers, and how he's in total command. And also, Cam Newton, the way he has fun. I love that part of it.
It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing. You've got to be the same guy; you've got to prepare the same.
I think one thing I had going for me that a lot of rookies didn't is that we played 15, 16 games every year in college.
I'm one that doesn't let the pressure or any of the outside kind of scrutiny, all those things, really get to me.
I'm a competitive son of a gun. I don't like losing. I want to be the best out there. I want to lead the troops. I want to kind of take the bull by the horns and be in control.
I need to play smarter and protect the football.
From the third grade, I knew that I wanted to play in the NFL. It's pretty cool to see the dream about to come to fruition, but it's just a starting point.
I just have pretty good recall of information.
I've always thought I played at a high level and played at a fast pace.
I'm going to put a lot of expectations on myself.
I don't get nervous.
I actually hated hunting the first time I went when I was a kid. My dad took us deer hunting. We sat there for 30 minutes, and I felt like I was losing my mind. But in college, I fell in love with it. Football became a full-time job, and I needed an escape. I needed something that would mellow me out.
Everything that comes with the game, I think I will handle it extremely easily. I don't let a lot of that outside stuff bother me.
I hold myself to a high standard.
You just control what you can control and just hopefully go win games and keep getting better.
For me, I stay pretty focused on football, and then at the end of the day, you just go home and relax.
I remember just praying, 'Dear Lord, please let me grow to be at least 6 feet.'
I know we're not going undefeated. I know I'm not going to throw a touchdown every game.
