I've definitely grown as a leader - being able to speak up, getting closer with coach and being on the same page, communicating and being more involved in the game plan and the checks throughout the game. Seeing the game a little bit better.
Mitchell Trubisky
Control what you can control. I can control my emotions, my attitude, my effort every day.
I want to play this game as long as possible, and I want to do it as long as I can here in Chicago.
You've got to be the first one in the door and last one out.
I know who I am. I'm proud of my journey.
It's great to have great practices during the week, but you gotta make sure you are performing on game day and making those plays for your team.
My job is to come in here and do the best I can to the best of my ability.
When you can recognize hot throws and blitzes, that's when they can slow down their blitz and they don't want to blitz you as much because you're getting the ball out.
I'm a little OCD.
Grandma's Camry, I don't think it goes past 100. If you're in an F1 car you can do circles around my Grandma's Camry. But it's Ol' Reliable, for sure.
I'm always mad when I throw an interception, but at the same time I don't care what anybody thinks.
I'm very humble that people are accepting me, and they are proud that I'm their quarterback.
I've got to continue to study, and if it's not the plays, it's studying more film, studying more defenses, watching other guys across the league, see what I can pick up.
I don't know about the future; no one really does. I'm excited about the possibilities of what can happen, and I feel good about it.
It's just like, you make a goal list - you write your goals down, you check it off once you get there and you make a new one.
You're not allowed to put anything on a steak.
You just play your game and find a way to win for your team.
It's not really about what I can do individually, it's about what we can accomplish as a team.
I know who I am.
I never worry about injury. When you go out there, you're playing football. And when you start worrying about those things, that's more when they happen, playing timid or keeping it in the back of your mind.
I have to make sure I study and do my job.
Freshman year of college, one of my coaches was out with family friends or whatever. Somebody said my name and kind of stuttered it or mumbled it. He was like, 'What'd you say? Mr. Biscuit?' instead of Mitchell Trubisky. It kind of stuck that week of practice, and that's what all the boys started calling me.
My family calls me Mitchell. But I have friends and teammates who call me Mitch, as well. I don't have a preference.
I was never a Packers fan.
I don't know what hype you're talking about, I don't pay attention to it.
It feels good when you put the hard work in and it comes to life out on the field.
I need to be the leader day in and day out - and I will be.
I want it to be here in Chicago. I'm going to play my heart and soul out for this team and give it everything I've got.
I like surprises.
I like mysteries.
Who wants to get sacked? Not me.
Everyone in this league can throw the football and make plays.
I love the grind. I think it makes you better in all facets of life.
I was a LeBron fan, wanted him to stay in Cleveland for the hometown team, but he made a decision for his family. You've got to respect that.
I don't think anyone wants to win more than I do.
You've got to be the hardest-working guy.
You've got to be the most knowledgeable, and you've got to be competitive.
It's all about controlling the huddle one play at a time and knowing my assignment, knowing my progression and where I've got to go with the ball.
It's my job to run the offense and make sure everything goes smoothly.
I'm not very good with the numbers and details and the language of contracts. I just want to play football.
I'm very intense and passionate about what I do.
I'm human. I'm going to make mistakes, but I'm trying to do the best I can.
I like to try to play around 223, 220 pounds. It's a comfortable playing weight.
I'm kind of OCD.
I expect to play well.
This isn't a one-man game. You're never going out there by yourself.
This is the best team sport ever created.
You get frustrated because you're so competitive and you want to win every drill.
I know if you're not first, you're last. That's all you need to know.
Freshman year of college we got to go on a NASCAR course in Charlotte.
