My biggest frustration with the Heisman is it's become the MVP of the national champion, or a team going to the National Championship game. That's what it's turned into. If you're not undefeated, you're out of the running.

All of those guys who told me that I was too short and how complicated the game was, it is not that complicated. It is the same game I have always played.

Always do your best because a pat on the back is real close to a kick in the pants.

The Flutie Bowl is a great event that brings together people who really care about the autism community. We always have a great time bowling and playing music.

Any game is important to me. At Boston College, when I went out for the spring games, I wanted to win. Maybe it is more important than other preseason games. It's just that everyone is expecting a lot from me in my first week of professional football. I want to confirm my expectations.

The trouble is that right now I want to put as much work into football as I can. It's very important for me to get off to a good start. By the same token, I feel a responsibility to handle the media and those sort of things.

It's nice to have a situation where you can make it fun.
