If you can play, you can play - and I know I can. If anyone wants to doubt that, heck - I'm more than ready to prove you wrong.

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

If the team's winning, I'm going to do whatever I can to help the team, whether that's from third-string role, backup, starter, it doesn't matter. I'm going to do what I can to prepare and help the team.

Being at NDSU and winning national championships, everyone's gunning for you. You got a big target on your back, and we had to be ready to go week in and week out. I think playing for a program like that, everyone's going to give you their best shot, and we embrace that.

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 can take more punishment than anyone in the business.
