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.

You will find that success in life comes far easier when you maintain a cool head and a warm heart, rather than a hot head and cold feet.

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

Warren Moon and Doug Williams really didn't run that much. That's the negative stereotype when it comes to African-American quarterbacks, that most of us just run. Those guys threw it around. I like to think I can throw it around a little bit.

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.

Sometimes people think it's what you say when you're in a huge group that makes you a leader. But sometimes it's the one-on-one conversations you have with guys individually, just getting to know them. I think I've done that a lot. Not intentionally - it just happens.

I grew up in the military. I've lived that life. I know that our soldiers are out there fighting for our right to vote, and they're out there fighting for other countries' rights to vote... Guys have been dying for it, and we have to go out and exercise it.
