The biggest thing isn't necessarily how I play, but that we win. That's my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that's all that matters to me.

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.

Basketball was always my first love, but once I had a good year as a senior, I figured the next step was to play college football.

When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.

I feel that Im not losing the game for our team. Im trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didnt play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.

People don't realize that I'm mobile, athletic and strong-armed.

If I do get nervous for a game, they usually go away after the first play. For the Super Bowl, it never went away.
