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

I try to do the right things. I was always raised that if you do the right thing and obey the law, you won't have problems.

I'm always going to make sure I'm doing the right things.

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.

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.

If I'm fortunate enough to play in the NFL, anywhere for anybody would be great. But if I had to pick, it would be the hometown [Atlanta] Falcons because I used to work for them.

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.
