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.

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 really find myself doing a lot better when I'm injured, so sometimes I look forward to it. This is the style that I play-being physical, running the football, making adjustments on the pass, avoiding the rush. Those sorts of things go with the total package of a quarterback.

I actually enjoy the pain. That's what gives me the fire inside to get up and keep going.

When I get on the field, I feel unstoppable.

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.
