Every down is important.

I know we're not going undefeated. I know I'm not going to throw a touchdown every game.

A lot of guys have tons of talent, but it boils down to the mental side of things. Preparing and knowing your offense and studying the defense. Being able to read and react quickly. The mental side is often overlooked.

From the third grade, I knew that I wanted to play in the NFL. It's pretty cool to see the dream about to come to fruition, but it's just a starting point.

I actually hated hunting the first time I went when I was a kid. My dad took us deer hunting. We sat there for 30 minutes, and I felt like I was losing my mind. But in college, I fell in love with it. Football became a full-time job, and I needed an escape. I needed something that would mellow me out.

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.
