I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.

If you're out there stressing on your pro day, then you're not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun. Play a little music while we're out there throwing the football, have everybody tapping their toes and bobbing their head and just go out there and make the most of the experience.

The mold that everyone is seeing nowadays is kind of the Aaron Rodgers mold - I try to mix and match from the different quarterbacks.

Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.

I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.

I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.

I don't want people to say I'm a solid quarterback. I want to be the best, and I'll continually work until I get there.
