The Madden Curse has really taken on a life of its own. People just love talking about it, and it is what it is, but I look at it as a challenge

You are either getting better or getting worse, but you are never staying the same.

I have a feeling that when you're on the cover, they supe up all your abilities in the game to a pretty high level. I'm excited to see what that equates to, like if I can throw the ball 100 yards in the air or something.

We always try to mix it up-three-step drop, five-step drop, seven-step drop, naked bootleg. We spread out all these kinds of things to keep the defensive pass rush unbalanced.

I get people stopping me on the street like twenty times a day, telling me how great it makes them feel and how it just helps them to go about their day and rebuild their lives. It means a tremendous amount.

Think about winning the day... if you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you.

I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community.
