UCF stayed with me all the way, so I felt I should stay with them.

Anybody can be good when things are going good, but a real player steps up when things are going bad.

Nobody who was shooting dice wanted to get a dance.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.

A guy like myself wants to make a play and be the difference, but the thing is I have to keep saying to myself to just do what I can.

You have to have quarterbacks who can keep up with everybody else. And I'm not saying that just black quarterbacks can do that, but more black quarterbacks are given a chance because they fit the mold.

You have to gain respect from your teammates. You have to earn it.
