I try to associate myself as just being myself - and being a person, an American citizen, going out there every day and just trying to be successful.

I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that.

I like to think I'm pretty smart with what I was able to do academically, but whenever I get on the field I turn into the Incredible Hulk and I am unstoppable.

I still don't think it's sunk in that I won the Heisman. I'll be able to reflect back on the season, appreciate those types of things and realize that although I wanted to 'be like Mike' when I was growing up, now I get to go out and be in the NFL.

As a quarterback, obviously, you're going to be put in the forefront whether you like it or not, and if you're not then you're not doing your job.

I hate to talk about myself like that, but if I had to straight up tell a head coach or an owner why they should take me, it's because I'm the best in everything I've done.

For me, a quarterback's best friend, especially a young quarterback's best friend, is a coach who believes in him.
