All of the teams have great players, but the fans are a major part of it - your atmosphere is what you become.

I’ll write down little lines, I always say, 'K.T.N.,' and I say that to my receivers and running backs and that means 'keep taking notes.' That keeps me alert. That keeps me going. That keeps my drive there, even when you’re taking notes on something that you’ve already taken notes on a million times - keep taking notes.

I think giving great content out to people is critical, and exclusive, cool content they've never seen before is the best way to go.

My dad used to wake me up at 5:30 in the morning and hit me ground balls and tell me, 'Don't be afraid to excel. Don't be afraid to be great.'

We were 6-4 and everybody doubted us. We lost to the Kansas City Chiefs and that week we had a players meeting and really talked about where we really want to go. It's not about the record. At the end of the day it comes down to are we going to keep focusing on each other and are we going to keep getting better day by day? We ignored the noise, we ignored all the talk from the outside.

Ultimately, I think authenticity is always key, no matter what you do in life. It's also key to the branding side of things.

With my dad passing away, he's always watching me-a big smile on his face, watching every snap on the 50-yard line.
