I'm not saying [racial profiling] doesn't happen; I'm saying I haven't experienced it.

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.

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

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.

As far as all players [being unfairly connected], people have their own opinions, and they're usually from the outside looking in. I don't listen to someone who is on the outside of what we're dealing with every day on the inside.

If your program has a great leader, you'll get great things. If you don't have a great leader and people aren't on the same page, you have a lot of different people doing a lot of different things. That's where trouble starts.

I love to interact with people, but there is a time and place for everything.
