My parents did a great job raising me and my two sisters. We all graduated from high school and we all graduated from college. So, to be a good representative of my family is probably my greatest accomplishment thus far.

My dad served 21 years and my mom did 13, so through that process, they taught me that I always have to give back.

I think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player.

Whenever you can relate to the population of the team that you play for, I think it makes it that much more special.

You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from. The speed, the determination, the mindset, just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, it all comes from my dad.

People would say I'm more polished as a passer than Tebow and Cam, but I'm not as physical a runner. But I am 6'2, 223, and I can throw with the best of them.

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