Zitat des Tages von Stefon Diggs:
If you don't have any confidence, you're not going to do anything.
I wanted to stay home and go to Maryland because I'm really the man of my house. We lost our father when I was 14. Somebody had to be there, so I had to take it and put that on my shoulders.
I consider myself a leader. I am not a follower.
I work hard and do things the way they're supposed to be done just so I can have success out here. I always want more.
My dad was real hard on me. He wasn't really big on congratulating and stuff like that.
My dad never gave me pats on the back or congratulations. There was always more to give and more to get done.
Not saying I was a bad kid, but I had a lot to learn. You've just got to not be impulsive.
Being away from the game took a toll on my heart.
There are going to be games where you don't have the greatest conditions, so to show that you can do it in bad conditions is a plus.
I can relate to a guy who stays home and does it for his family and friends.
I try not to pay too much attention to the surroundings when you've got plays to worry about. It doesn't really matter. All we need is the grass and a couple of lines. We'll make it work and execute no matter what. At the end of the day, that's football.
My little brothers can ask me any question in the world, and if I've got the answer, I'm going to give it to them.
I'm a dominant competitor.
I wanted to go to the underdog team - I wanted to build something somewhere like a lot of the other guys who stayed home at Maryland, like Vernon Davis and players like that. I wanted to stay home and do it in front of my family and my friends... Those thing matter to me.
When you're not able to play ball anymore, you see who's really there for you. I would say that God works in mysterious ways, and He gets rid of your friends for you - the ones who were never really your real friends.
Just scratching the surface. It's just the beginning. I'm still young. I've got a lot of time to grow.
Whether I'm playing right now or not, I still have an opportunity to get better in practice. It's like sharpening my blade.
I'm a football fanatic. I love the game of football. I love learning new things, and I love being taught things. So I try to learn as much as I can, and even at a young age, I was really focused on how to be better and trying to learn all the techniques.
You don't want to have any negativity in your life. Continue to push. Continue to be patient. And when your time comes, then you've got to do everything you can, that's all.
Being away from the game you love so much, it will mess with your mind.
I know I'm not the biggest guy or the fastest guy, but you've got to bring something to the table that someone else is not. I love football too much.
I picked up yoga. I tried to do cooking a little bit. I almost burned my house down, but it's all good. So I just stuck to yoga.
The time you do get edgy and the time you do want to slack off is the time, boom, there goes your opportunity. So you don't want to have that.
I understood it's a business as far as when you're drafting someone, and you want a guy you can trust. But there were no questions on my ability or character.
I just try to make the plays when they throw them to me.
At the end of the day, I don't care how many catches I have or how many yards I have. As long as the Ws keep stacking up in the win column, I'm happy.
I just want to get better all around and contribute more.
Quarterbacks like guys who try to do everything they can for them and put it on the line for them. So that's what I try to do.
I just feel like it's my job to take care of my body. I play a contact sport, 99.9 percent injury rate. As far as being injury-prone or getting hurt, it's going to happen. But it's my job to take care of my body, come week in and week out.
I'm just going to do everything my coaches ask me.
Each day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.
There are great days ahead for the University of Maryland football program, and I hope I have helped to put the program in a better place than it was when I first got there.
