I live by family over everything.
My parents work long, long shifts during the week and even on the weekend.
I fell in love with Clemson when I took a visit there.
I want to be my own person. I want to make a name for myself instead of having the name attached to me.
The main reason why I would even potentially go to the NFL Draft is for my family.
People didn't think Christian Ponder would get picked in the first or second round, but they don't understand how prepared he was for the pro game through the FSU coaching staff.
I've been through a lot; that I have.
You have to approach every day and try and get better on and off the field.
You need to keep looking forward; don't ever look back.
Everything happens for a reason. But I would love to still be at Clemson.
I've learned to keep your mouth shut even when something bad is going on. You never know how someone is going to take something you say. You have to bite the bullet.
I wanted to win an SEC championship and a national championship. Those are the main goals.
People have sacrificed more to make me be happy than I could ever dream of.
I dream big. I think big. I try to go out and do it as big as I can.
I feel like I have been able to rewrite my story to some extent. But I feel like there is a lot of work to be done.
If you're the quarterback and want to be the best on the field, you've got to act like it.
I wanted to be in the situation where I could have a chance to go to the NFL and be a great quarterback and take care of my family.
You've got to bring it. You've got to make sure people feel the energy you're trying to bring to the game.
You just have to keep coming to work in order to be the best.
Everybody's watching when you're the quarterback. The other players see how much you want it.
