I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.

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 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.

The mold that everyone is seeing nowadays is kind of the Aaron Rodgers mold - I try to mix and match from the different quarterbacks.

Every time I step out on that field, I'm 100 percent. My teammates know that. They know what I'm out there dealing with. I know what I'm out there dealing with. But when it comes to my mindset, I'm 100 percent.

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.

It's not something to complain about, but just the major difference between college and the pros is that in college you're guaranteed four to five years so long as you don't do anything criminally and in the pros you're guaranteed one day because you can be cut the next.
