No one can beat Momma. She made me the person I am today. The way I think and act and move and talk and speak. It's all because of her.

Each person has their own brand and style and the way they do things.

I don't think there would be any pressure playing for my hometown team. It would be fun. I'd just do the same thing I did before and build on it.

Every day, you always have to be cognizant of your brand. I know it can cost you [future] money, but there are a lot of things more important than money that affect your brand.

People have assumed that I have to run the ball before I can throw it most all of my career, all the way back before high school. It's a stereotype put on me for a long time because I'm African-American and I'm a dual-threat quarterback. I don't know why that stereotype is still around. It's about talent and the ability to throw the ball, not the color of your skin or your ability to also be a dangerous runner.

Anybody can say they want to be the greatest ever. I take pride in it. If you're around me long enough and watch me work, that's what I'm striving for. I won't stop until I am.

The one thing I learned early on as a football player is people have their opinions, and I can't change them. But I can show them what they're missing.
