It's not always the easiest thing to be the center of so much spilled ink.
If I believe that I became the best quarterback that I could possibly be, the best football player that I could possibly be... That's how I'm going to measure my career as a success or not.
I've always been attracted to girls whose hearts are the biggest thing about them. People can be very sweet and kind to others who can do a lot for them. I want to find a girl who will be the same person to those who can't do anything for her in return.
I try to be active and to keep my body in the best shape I can possibly be in.
Athletic ability can be taken away like that. It can all end in a heartbeat.
I don't try to focus on anything that doesn't affect me personally and how I go out there every single day. I'm just going to continue to work hard and focus on what I can control.
You know, I think He honestly does care about how we play on the field, more than anything more than win or lose our hearts on the field.
I guess, first and foremost, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When I have a family someday, I'll probably adopt. Adoption has always been something close to my heart. There are so many kids out there who really need a family.
There's always someone out there training for your spot. For my scholarship at the University of Florida, for my job with the Denver Broncos, for my position with the New York Jets. And that's the reason to get up earlier or stay up later.
I'll always use the negativity as more motivation to work even harder and become even stronger.
What's amazing when you get up and do something is what God does in your life. We just have to get up and do something.
I love talking football, and I love being around it.
I rely on a lot of green drinks to get my vegetables.
When people meet me, I hope that they say this: 'This is a guy who, number one, loves the Lord, but he also loves people, and he wants to make a difference in people's life. And he wants to help everyone he comes in contact with, and he is genuine, he is real, and he cares about people.'
You need to have something to motivate you, something to give you an edge.
At the end of the day, everything is God's plan, and he cares about what we do. He cares about our hearts, how we play the game, and how we treat people. He's definitely involved with how we handle sports and not just the outcome of it. I'm proud when athletes mention God in any way.
Whatever avenue I feel like I can make a difference in, I'd love to do.
I've been blessed to have an amazing mom and two amazing sisters - so they set a very high standard.
We have to humble ourselves and the way you do that is by serving other people.
I'm going to mess up. But I'm going to get back, you know, and get after it and try to do better the next day.
My rookie year was huge for me as far as the learning curve, especially those last three games.
I pray to start my day and finish it in prayer. I'm just thankful for everything, all the blessings in my life, trying to stay that way. I think that's the best way to start your day and finish your day. It keeps everything in perspective.
When your identity is found in Christ, your identity never changes. You are always a child of God.
I try to be as real and honest about everything and very genuine with people and say, 'Listen, I'm a Christian, and I'm not perfect. I screw up every day, but I think that's what grace is all about.'
For me, it's a great opportunity on a public platform to get on your knees and humble myself and thank the Lord for all the blessings he's put in my life.
People have to realize that just because you're a Christian, it doesn't mean that you're perfect, because every once in a while everyone stumbles.
Outside of football and training, I am somewhat of a homebody. Love hangin' out with my siblings and close friends.
For me, getting on a knee and praying is a very special deal for me. A very special moment. For me, it was honoring that and not letting people go out there and make a mockery of it and do a lot of different things and just kind of keeping it safe.
I don't like to talk hypotheticals. I deal with the real life situations. I treat every day as a blessing.
I don't judge my success in life as a football player.
For me, life isn't about being recognized or having everyone know who I am. That's not why I'm here. To me, my foundation is the most important thing I do or have ever done. That's what my life is about.
