I can make all the throws. My mental side is a strength as far as understanding defense schemes and our playbook. I'm able to change plays when needed. I think that sets me apart.

I hate losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be the best at whatever it is I'm doing.

At the end of the day, you just want to go to a team that believes in you... and hopefully wants to build a franchise around you.

I'm going to go out and attack it and get better every day. That's the same approach I've had since I was just a little kid.

All I care about is winning.

I just have pretty good recall of information.

I think I have the special ability to process information quickly and dissect defenses.

Playing football in Fargo has a total big-time feel. Everyone says it's FCS and it's a smaller school, but in Fargo, North Dakota, and in the state of North Dakota, NDSU football is the real deal.

I'm a competitive son of a gun. I don't like losing. I want to be the best out there. I want to lead the troops. I want to kind of take the bull by the horns and be in control.

You're not always going to come out on top.

You just control what you can control and just hopefully go win games and keep getting better.

We have a culture at NDSU that's about the team first.

Central Michigan was the one FBS team that recruited me hard.

I think the biggest thing, even from Day 1 after the draft, was coach DeFillipo being very detailed with everything.

I just have to have trust in my guys to make plays. I play at a confident, fast pace, and when I like something, I take it. I rip it.

I'm not an idiot; I can make adjustments to my life. But I like having a schedule.

There is just something about being out in open country, about seeing the sun rise over a pond, that's really beautiful.

I'm a very motivated person. I don't need extra motivation.

There are going to be losses. There are going to be bad plays. There are going to be mistakes.

As a competitor, you want to get on the field as soon as you can. But you want to do best for your team, your career and everything. That's not up me to decide.
