I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

The sense of urgency is real for me, because the window of opportunity is closing. Gotta get back to the Super Bowl, gotta get back there and win it.

I want people to say when No. 9 was out on the field, he did everything humanly possible to win a ballgame.

I'm a country guy from Mississippi who keeps it simple.

I've never believed anyone could put more pressure on me than I put on myself. People expect great things from me. I expect great things from myself.

I'm not out trying to prove anything. All I'm trying to do is go out there and help my team any way I can to win. I don't get caught up in the individual stats or the awards.

I'm proud of where I come from. A lot of people leave Mississippi, and their claim to fame is somewhere else. But I have so many moral values that made me the person I am now.
