I want to go where I'm the difference. I want to make something out of nothing. I want to be the reason someone is great.

If there's one perk, it's being the quarterback of America's team and being able to make a difference off the field.

The game of football is something I dearly love, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

If you're a competitor, you want to win. That's enough to play for, simple as that.

I grew up in Haughton, Louisiana. I go to my white grandparents' house, and then I cross the railroad tracks and hang out with my black grandma. We have English teachers on my white side. My grandpa is a principal. And then you go to the other side, and people have been in jail.

I've been in situations where I was the only black guy. We're in a time now where nobody wants to see that. But it still happens.
