That's one thing you learn as a quarterback: focus. The better you are at focusing and the more you can continue to stay focused for a four-hour stage and really be zeroed in on what is happening, the better you play, the longer you play.

You just can't let the outside world affect your game.You can't hold anything back. You can't play a different game.

So many people get caught up in being a pro athlete and think they are better. I don't feel like I've ever changed or acted any differently because of the situation I'm in or that status I have.

I just need to be in a position where I can control the ball, make smart decisions, and do what I'm coached up to do.

I personally believe that professional athletes should give back to their communities in any way possible. We are in a position to make a difference.

I get very bored at practice because I have run curl-flat a million times, or slant-drag. There are so many parts of the game that have become so routine that you can let it bore you, and that's not good.

Whoever controls the line of scrimmage and wins up front is going to be the winner.
