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.

I speak on things I'd like to speak on. Anything else, I'll keep quiet.

My mom raised me to be successful and not be a knucklehead and do the wrong things. She still talks to me to this day about those 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.

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.

I try to act as a man of character if no one is watching or if the world is watching.

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.
