My numbers speak for itself.

My numbers are better than Troy Aikman, but he has Super Bowl rings and he's played with Hall of Famers as well.

I played every sport but hockey.

I'm a Cubs fan, a Bulls fan.

Making it to the Final Four, you feel like you're watched on campus. You're in the classroom, professors are talking about it.

Well, we went to the Final Four in '96. As a college kid, that's what you dream about.

It's sad that we have to be measured by how many championships we win.

It's sad that Walter Payton was not known as the greatest running back to play the game until they won the Super Bowl.

There are a lot of great players who have not won a Super Bowl.

I've talked to other players that have been to the Super Bowl and about what happened the next year. Everybody becomes stars. Everybody feels like, 'I'm the man.'

I'm just like the rest of the guys. I'm a little different in a lot of ways, but I'm still a player with a number on his back and if I'm unable to produce, they'll find somebody else to fill my spot.

Everybody suffers through some type of adversity. Does it make you stronger or does it pull you down? And I never will let any of that pull me down or pull me away from what I've set to achieve.

Michael Jordan was criticized. Barry Bonds was criticized. Some of the greats in every profession have been criticized. Not everything is peaches and cream.

Work ethic starts where everyone understands that you're putting that extra foot forward in order to be the best.

This is something that I think has been going on for before I played football - just kind of guys sitting down with some of the younger guys to prepare them for what they'll be faced with.

When things go well, the quarterback is the one who sees all the attention. When things go wrong, they are the ones who get criticized the most.

Everybody loves the backup.

Obviously, you look at footwork and things of that nature, but that's not just at my position. That's from everyone.

When you're critical of yourself and your play, you just look at your reads, you look at how fast you can get the ball out.

Nobody has been criticized as much as I have.

As an NFL player, and as a veteran in this game, no one cares what you're doing during the offseason. They only care about what you do on the football field.

Building a trust takes time.

I love everything about this game.

I take this game very seriously.
