I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by thatWe always try to find similarities in life, no matter what it is so they're going to try to put you in a box with other African-American quarterbacks - Vick, Newton, Randall Cunningham, Warren MoonThat's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.

You know, I started this process of being a football player and I'm going to make it to the NFL very soon and I plan on finishing that. And by 'finishing that,' I mean that I'm going to go out and be the best that I can be and put everything forth to make that happen.

A lot of people have already labeled me the Savior.

Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I'm up for that.

I think I'm starting to figure out when I need to get rid of it and when I don't need to.

The speed will increase and the players will be better, but also the players around you will be a lot better. It all cancels itself out.

The day I think about throwing the ball away at the beginning of a play, I should stop playing.
