If you are going to be a starter in the NFL or a major-college program, you are going to have to beat out other great quarterbacks.

A lot of times, somebody will say something and it will give you a good title. So you carry a pencil with you and jot that down. You don't just write a song right quick, though. You fool around and work with it. You have to keep going over and over it and see if you can't write a song that means something.
