... When they talk about Bowling Green and Omar Jacobs, it comes with the territory. I just have to deal with it.
I don't set TD goals. They call the plays, I run them. I just want to win games.
He's a real straightforward guy. You could tell by his demeanor he's a good person.
I saw an opportunity to pursue a dream of mine. I'm ready for the commitment. I'm confident. If I had any doubts, I'd probably still be in school.
I was used to counting to one Mississippi and then going, but they made us wait on three sets, so I jumped on two. I'm happy I did well throwing, but I didn't get the time I wanted in the run. But the throwing was the most important.
It felt good. I got into a little groove ... I felt I had a pretty good showing.
I still have another year, it's not like this is my last year.
I might as well be around my school so if guys want to come in, I can be accessible to anybody. I may go out (to California) for a weekend if the agency has something that I need to go to or some kind of charity event.
I was off the whole night. It was probably one of my worst games I ever played in college.
We exchanged numbers. We know some of the same people.
Every time I come home she has got chores for me to do. Take out the garbage, pull weeds, trim the screens. I thought it was a break.
Ben is a great quarterback. If I have to sit for awhile ... I have to be patient to some degree; I want to be patient in Pittsburgh. If my time comes, it will.
Everybody who enters the NFL Draft, it's a roll of the dice. I won't know how ready I am for the next level until I test it. It's a crapshoot. Everybody who leaves early takes a gamble.
I've been doubted since I've been in high school and have had to prove them wrong. I'll just go out there have fun, and I know if I get the chance I'll shine.
It was a tough decision, no question. It was a feel-type thing, something in my gut that told me I needed to do this. Looking at the other quarterbacks in the draft. It's a decision I had to make and I haven't questioned it since.
It's going to keep going until I retire, so I think it's something that will always be there. When it changes, it changes. If it doesn't, it doesn't. As long as I'm productive, I don't think it should matter.
It's been pretty slow. I haven't had any personal workouts with teams since the combine. Just been hanging around Bowling Green kind of waiting around for those - trying to workout and stay in shape.
It's great to give Floridians an opportunity and there is so much talent there. Some may not want to go away.
It was a decision that was certainly not easy and a decision that I hope the people who have supported me throughout my career can understand and respect.
I'm not even nervous. There's a little excitement like going into a game. It's like approaching a game. I've prepared for everything that could happen, and I'll be ready.
In Indianapolis, you only got two throws (each round) and you were out ... If you make a bad throw on your last throw, then you're thinking about it for another eight guys.
I had to live up to that again and it wasn't easy, especially after I got hurt. I didn't accomplish what I wanted to accomplish, MAC championships and stuff like that. But we finished the season strong.
