There's just a misconception that comes with being a dual-threat quarterback. You run first, throw second. I've proven I throw first and then run if I have to.

Teams are going to try to hit me because they think I can't take a hit. I think I've proven over my career that I can.

My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.

It's believable because great things don't happen without hard work

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

Respect talent. Get respect where respect is due, but don't be caught up in yourself where you do things obliviously and not pay attention to what is going on.

My parents raised me to not ever look at race or color, so it doesn't have a big part in my self-identity.
