I wish I could say someone taught me my mental toughness, it would have been a lot less painful.

When you speak and represent the person of Jesus Christ in all actions of your life, people are drawn to that. You set the standard with your actions. The words can come after.

I expected to play well, I expected to lead my team, and I expected to win.

No matter what happens on the football field it doesn't change the kind of person I am.

If you're willing to put yourself and your dreams on the line, at the very least you'll discover an inner strength you may not have known existed.

I believe that the Lord has a plan for each of us that's better than anything we can imagine, even if that plan isn't obvious to us at every stage. He prepared me for this over a long period of time - in lower-profile locker rooms and the grocery store and in Europe, through all the personal tragedies and in spite of the people who doubted me along the way.

It's much easier when your team's winning. When your team starts to lose, that's where a lot of these quarterback controversies divide a locker room. The key, as a pro, is to be a pro.
