I've had to work hard my whole life to gain what I have, and that's why I have such a fun time doing those things that nobody likes. Like squatting or hang cleans or getting up in the morning, because I think that I realize in the end what it's going to do for me and what it has done for me in the past.

I wasn't born this super, superior athlete.

Squats and hang cleans. I love them. You can just feel yourself getting bigger and better.

I feel like I have been a quick study in terms of picking up the different offensive schemes I have been exposed to. I think I offer a dependability and dedication that is very important to being successful.

I find the game mentally challenging and really enjoy the chess match that occurs every week between the offense and the opposing defense.

Whenever I go to a new team the jabs about being a Harvard guy are always more prevalent. This is mainly because people don't know much about me other than being the Harvard guy that did well on his Wonderlic test. The more time I spend with people, the less the Harvard stuff comes up.

I never imagined even playing in the NFL. It seemed like a pipe dream.

It really all started in Buffalo, when it was cold, I wanted to see if I could grow facial hair and lo and behold it just kept growing.

I think rather than further the stereotypes of me going into the league and being 'the Harvard guy,' I shattered those when I was a rookie and I couldn't call a play in the huddle.

I'm very proud of the fact I went to Harvard and I loved my four years there.

I want to bring energy. I want my play to be infectious to other guys.

I have zero ego.

There were guys who helped me out when I was young.

I really enjoy helping younger guys out, because this league is about playing it forward a little bit.

For all the ladies out there, I'm taken. I'm sorry.

Just in terms of the demeanor and the approach and just making sure that I'm consistent in the way I do things - that is the biggest thing for me.

There's a lot of things you can't learn unless you actually experience it.

I've had a different career than a lot of different quarterbacks, but this has been a career that I've loved and a position that I like being in.

I like KenKen.

I like Backgammon.

That's why you play the game. You play the game for your teammates, who really want to play with and for you.

Football is something so ingrained in me, something I love doing and definitely something I want to do.

The biggest thing in this game - to last - is to have belief in yourself. Because when the owner stops believing in you and the GM stops believing in you and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself.

If the play-caller has confidence in you, you can feel it on the headset. You can feel it by the way he's calling plays.
