Zitat des Tages von Jordan Rodgers:
I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother.
Every relationship stands on its own, and it's successful or not successful for its own reason.
I've carried my chip with me my entire career. I've had to fight and claw for every position I've had. I sat on the bench as a junior in high school, I had to compete my senior year in high school to get the job. I competed again at Vanderbilt before having success.
Ultimately, I ended up playing for three NFL teams. That's something I'm proud of, just to get to that level.
Cam Newton, his best throw is better than anybody's best throw. I'm gonna say that right off the bat. But I will take consistency over volatile play any day of the week.
I think early in my development as a quarterback, before I ever got a Division I college offer or anything, my brother was in the spotlight, first-round draft pick. People expected me to be him, but I was underdeveloped, undersized, unrecruited... so it was tough at that point.
It's a different mind-set going into the off-season as a starter. The uncertainty from the team is gone, and your confidence grows.
I knew I'd get an opportunity, and it's up to me to make the most of it whether I got drafted or not. If you can play, you'll get to play, regardless of that.
First impressions are huge, especially with the coaching staff.
I'm defined by the character I have.
