I think experience is the biggest teacher.Collection: Teacher
I'm normally a night person and waking up early in the morning is not easy for me by any means.Collection: Morning
I think it tells a lot about a person whether they put the shopping cart back to where it belongs, or they just leave it in the parking lot, and that's just kind of how my dad raised me.Collection: Dad
To wake up and to have to go to rehab to do those things to get back out on the field, you realize how important sports are to you.Collection: Sports
I can't eat very much in the morning. I kind of have a weak stomach, so maybe I'll reach for a Gatorade protein bar or two.Collection: Morning
I'm a big fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream and peanut butter cookies.
I don't think I'm really an introvert.
You can't let the last play affect your next one.
The only pressure that you make is what you put on yourself.
We need to continue to take care of the little things.
Milk is an essential part of my routine that has really helped fuel my training and recovery.
I was big into like 'Game of Thrones,' 'New Girl.'
I can get as mad or as happy after practice as I want. But, during practice, I need to be level-headed and focused.
I feel like I just get bored sometimes without football.
Football is an emotional game.
I think the most important quality of a leader is being themselves. Being genuine and not trying to be someone that you're not.
SoFi Stadium is an incredible stadium. I think honestly it could be a little bit intimidating when you first walk in there just because of how big it is.
I love waking up and going to work and lifting, running, throwing and watching film.
You learn a lot from not being able to play.
I think the great thing about football, for me, is I need football.
To have that mindset and knowing that I'm not going to be perfect, I'm going to throw interceptions, I'm going to throw incompletions unfortunately, but it's all about bouncing back and doing your best.
I would say coverages have gotten, not easier to read, but you feel more comfortable going out there and seeing things.
I grew up drinking milk and I feel I'm at my best when I drink it.
If I go out there and work as hard as I can on every single rep... I could fail and still be proud of myself.
I was a huge fan of the Chargers and LaDainian Tomlinson, and Philip Rivers. All those guys. Antonio Gates.
When you're up at the line of scrimmage, it has to be so quick. It just needs to be understood immediately. There's no time to sit back and think.
If there are a couple throws during practice that maybe I missed or maybe I felt could have been better, after practice is the time to address those.
I think I've just kind of grown and developed and I have a better understanding of the game.
I think that's when I'm at my best, just enjoying the game, having fun, making plays.
I drink a lot of water throughout the day.
Stepping up, finding the pocket, find that sweet spot and be able to deliver under pressure is something that I could always improve on.
California is big and there are plenty of people that don't know what is going on in the football world.
I think that if you're taking a vacation, you're trying to get away from something.
I think early on in my career I was pretty quiet. I was shy. But as the years went on I kind of stepped out of my comfort zone. I forced myself to be uncomfortable. I kind of found myself.
The little things are being early to meetings and lifts, stretching and warming up - doing all these things consistently, the walk-throughs that we do, practicing plays before practice, and all the timing routes we get with receivers. I think all those things add up to be the big things.
I think it's really important to be able to address your team and be genuine, because when things are good you need to be the same guy, and when things are bad, you need to be the same guy, too.
I think the less people know about me, the better.
I don't want to read an article about myself.
I like things neat. Things have a place, and they should be put back where they come from.
If you can look people in the eye in the huddle and say we're fine when bullets are flying and things seem bad... that's my idea of leadership.
There's no better feeling than going out there and being relaxed and just going to play football.
I grew up watching 'Monday Night Football' games, just dreamed about being out there.
I think it's always nice to play at SoFi because we got our fans showing up to give us so much support and knowing we got them there and I think it's just one of those home environments that you love to play.
I'm really excited to partner with Dr. Squatch. I think the great thing about their company is that they've been able to produce these high performance care products. Soaps, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners that are free from synthetic materials or harsh chemicals.
I grew up such a big NFL fan and watching Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, all of those guys.
When all else fails and the coverage gets underneath the routes and everything is covered downfield, being able to scramble out and find four or five yards to get the third-down conversion - I think that's huge for an offense.
I think it's a huge advantage to get out of the pocket and run.
All I can really do is put my best effort out there.
You have to be able to step up and have calm feet in the pocket, get the ball out quick.
I always wanted to go to the draft and thought the experience would have been fun, but I'm from Eugene and that's where all my friends and family are.
