Whenever I get a chance to get my reps in, that's a good challenge for me.

I'll do anything it takes to win.

I'm ready for any adversity that's going to hit.

For me, being as competitive as I am, the bigger the challenge for me, the better for me.

I easily could've gone to a place like Florida Atlantic, but my dad pushed me to realize that my dream was to play somewhere big. He was right.

Expectations are one thing, but you've got to do your own. Got to do your own.

There are a lot of things I would take back, off the field, to be a franchise guy.

Everybody wants to portray the bad boy, the Johnny Manziel stuff, but I love the game of football. There's no doubt about that.

I know how to lead.

The best thing - I say it all the time - what happened at Oklahoma was sitting for a year after I transferred. To sit there and be able to focus on the physical parts of my body. You know, develop, and then the mental side of the game, learning.

I say it all the time: Texas high school football. It's no joke. It's a big deal. And when you get good coaches like I had at Lake Travis, and then you play other good programs, it develops you very quickly, and it gets you going.

People will have their guesses and opinions on my character, but anyone that's actually sat down and talked to me knows that I don't have any character issues, any off-the-field issues.

I learned, for me to play at my best, I need to play with an edge.

Before the game, getting guys in the right mindset and confident - you play well when you're confident. People can say 'cockiness' or whatever, but there are results when you play with a confidence and you believe in yourself.

It doesn't matter what cards you're dealt. It's what you do with those cards. Never complain. Just keep pushing forward. Find a positive in anything and just fight for it.

You've got to play to your players' talents.

I was fortunate enough to do a docu-series throughout the draft process, but I did that to show the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Any win feels great. It is hard to do.

I had to play the cards that I was dealt to get better mentally, physically, and push myself to limits that I didn't think I was capable of.

Life is a bunch of ups and downs. It's how you handle it.
