Some people wanted me to be the Latino quarterback. Some people wanted me to be the USC quarterback who happens to be Latino.

The Latino community, they're some of the most loyal fans on the planet.

I was a competitive guy growing up.

Once you get the nod, your mentality totally changes. It's like a heavyweight fighter-you win the title and that's it, you don't want to look back and you don't want to change. That's the way I feel and I'm looking to keep the job.?

To mark the 0-year anniversary of 9/, I wanted to launch an FDNY shirt that pays tribute to the brave first responders who, like my father, risk their lives in the line of duty on a regular basis. All of the proceeds raised from the sale of the T-shirt benefit the New York Police & Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund.

I'm not trying to prove how Mexican I am or how American I am. I'm proud to be both.

As the member of a firefighter family myself, supporting the widowed families of rescue workers is an important, personal cause of mine.
