You put a big smile on your face and work hard and work to improve every single day.
Jameis Winston
I'm gonna be myself. I'm gonna continue to be myself.
It's not about you playing when everything is going good, it's how you react when things are going bad and not going your way.
My main goal as a leader is to be a huge advocate in the community and I've done that and I want to continue to do that.
I always was a guy that wanted to be liked. That wanted to be like everyone else, not really understanding that the platform that I had was different than others. Not really understanding that God expects more from his leaders that he does from people who are not really committed to Him.
After I won the Heisman a lot of people were thinking I probably wouldn't set foot on a baseball field, but I love this game, too. That's what some people fail to realize.
When I was young, I always wanted to be great at football.
I want to be better than Bo Jackson, hopefully.
Draft day is just another chapter in my life.
I experienced different things growing up as a child that helped me. That helped mold me into the man that I am now, to the athlete that I am now.
I probably have more success in football, but baseball is a passion of mine, and I want to play as long as possible.
Well, traditionally, how I grew up, I grew up in the Baptist Church, always going to church every Sunday, Sunday school, vacation Bible school.
I'm really just excited to play football. It's a win-win situation for me. I just got to go out there and do what I do best. It's what God blessed me to do, so I've got to do it.
Always having that chip on your shoulder is an important thing for a quarterback.
Coming from high school, when you sit that first year, if you love football, have respect for the game.
I learn in different ways. If I can visualize what's going on and see what's happening, I can go out there and do it out there on the field.
My primary focus is going into a football game and having a turnover-free football game. That's my primary focus.
I believe that people make mistakes, but I also believe that you bounce back from those and I'm just moving forward.
I'm a strong believer that coaches coach and players play.
I measure myself by the win column.
It would be a privilege to be accepted by the Glazer family in Tampa.
Coach Koetter is an amazing offensive coordinator.
I don't have time to think about bad things, I'm always looking forward. Focusing on the positive, not the negative.
I'm just ready to play football. I'm ready to get involved in the community, I'm ready to just do positive things and move forward.
I used to be a hitter when I was in high school.
My goal is to get better every year and statistically that has happened in a lot of different things.
I always knew that my identity wasn't in football. It wasn't in baseball. I knew it's always been in Christ and just my upbringing has always led me to have a tremendous faith that God was going to see me through and he would not give me too much that I couldn't bear.
I draw a lot of comparisons with Cam Newton and E.J. Manuel. But for the mental part, I like to view myself as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and those guys. Because they're so ahead of everyone else when it comes to that part of the game.
Me and Coach Koetter have a great relationship, first and foremost, and we've got the same goal when we go out there on that football field - and that's to win the football game.
I'm just growing. Growing in faith and trying to better myself as a Christian and as a man.
Well, ever since I was six, I had a little notebook with coverages and notes on the mental aspect of a game, what it meant to be a leader and what type of attitude you had to have.
Southern Florida ain't even Florida for real. It's like New York, Chicago, the beaches.
I know I have to live up to the hype wherever I go. If I'm an inch below the standard, it'll be chaos.
One great lesson that I would just pass along to every young person out there or anybody that feels that they can handle everything by themselves, that feels all they need is themselves, their sheer will and their confidence, I would disagree with that.
A lot of people thought I was fat, but I'm proving everybody wrong.
I look good, and I know it.
Sometimes checking that ball down is the simple decision. It's about moving the chains. It's about a completion here and a completion there. And that's how you know the game really slows down is when you're able to do that, when it's just second nature.
I just have to keep working hard.
My mother was the youngest of 11 kids and I grew up in her family's household. I was blessed to have my dad in my life and his family lived right down the street from the church.
God is teaching me to really just take small increments towards Him every single day. One thing about Jesus. He's always walking towards us because he wants to guide us. But all we have to do, we have to be willing to be vulnerable and take steps towards Him.
Every game I try to get better and better.
The thing about this league that I've learned is that you can't really harp too much on your last game. The next game is the most important game and you've got to prepare for that.
I know I've made mistakes.
I know I have a past.
When you can put your whole body into things, you can create so much power.
I was baptized when I was younger because I grew up in the church.
Coach Koetter coaches his tail off, and he definitely supports me.
My job is to win games and, hopefully, win Super Bowls.
I dream of being a Hall of Famer one day.
I believe when you're communicating with any player, you're going to have some disagreements.
