You know, I'm an African-American quarterback. That may scare a lot of people because they - they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to.

Because when I go places and I talk to kids and I talk to parents and I talk to athletes all over, and they look at my story and they see a person, African-American or not, they see something that they can relate to.

But yet I don't think I should be labeled just a black quarterback, because it's bigger things in this sport that need to be accomplished.

I think for me, or for anyone who plays the quarterback position, it's almost an unspoken word when you think about leadership. Some guys can be a leader and be a running back or a lineman, or wide receiver, strong safety, or linebacker. But when you speak of quarterbacks, it's automatically a default that you're supposed to be a leader.

I don't even want to touch on the topic of black quarterback, because I think this game is bigger than black, white or even green.

Playing this game, you cannot have nothing holding you back. If you're thinking, you're wrong automatically.
