I'm very confident.

I'm a Raider for life.

I've been in hard times.

When you're losing, crap happens.

I don't give false claims any due.

I don't care what stadium we play in.

Raider Nation is everywhere, literally.

I've rolled and torn ligaments in my ankle.

I love Raider Nation. There's nothing like it.

Once you're drafted there is no time to relax.

I broke my back, I broke my ankle. I didn't cry then.

When things get tough, a lot of people point fingers.

If you see anything, you see I post a lot of Scriptures.

Being in a boot is not fun. Being on crutches is not fun.

I don't care about the stats. That's not my No. 1 objective.

When I put my helmet on, I'm ultra competitive, talking trash.

The only predraft talk I listen to is the coaches and the GMs.

I just want to make sure that my teammates will be taken care of.

I don't need to tell stories about how I prepare or manage myself.

Everything can look good in theory and in practice it all falls apart.

A game manager - I wish people would call me that. That's a compliment.

Of course, anyone would want Marshawn Lynch. Any quarterback in the NFL.

Every year, I find things where I can go harder into and things like that.

It makes you hungry every time you see another team celebrate a championship.

I just want to win. I want to mess up the draft. I don't want the first pick.

Tough, gritty, those are things that have been in me since I was a little kid.

I just want to play ball - and I want to do it wearing a silver-and-black jersey.

In the second year of a system it's easier to get through your progressions faster.

I've broken a lot of things. I've torn a lot of muscles. I've torn a lot of ligaments.

Let's go fix problems that I have and let's do what I need to do to win championships.

For me, if I didn't have my faith, the game gives you a lot of highs and a lot of lows.

Having a big brother who taught me protections and blitz recognition has helped out a lot.

We want to go 100 miles per hour and cause confusion for the defense. It can be a lot of fun.

I work my tail off to make sure that our city, our fans, our team, our coaches can enjoy winning.

There's times where I get emotionally hijacked, then I'll try and force something and do something.

We have a goal of winning the Super Bowl and that's just where our focus is. It's like a laser focus.

There's a lot of people out there who don't love football, and I don't want anything to do with those guys.

I don't really like the business side of football, but I just like adding good players to our football team.

I had some definite weaknesses my rookie year that I had to work on and hopefully I've gotten better at those.

I still think having an older brother in the NFL is the coolest thing ever. But to see how it went down is sad.

I feel like, even if a guy is covered, I can put the ball where it needs to be so we can have a successful play.

When teams see coach Gruden and myself run out on the field, they know, 'Hey, man, we are in for it mentally today.'

You can line anybody up against me and I'm going to throw against them. And I like my chances, in the most humble way.

I believe God gave me talent to play this game, and I'd be sacrificing those gifts if I didn't give my best every single day.

There won't be a day when I stop working to be a better version of myself, so I'm going to keep working and I will get better.

The game has slowed down for me. It's so much easier than it was. I feel like I see things better, and I can take advantage of what I see.

It's one of those things that I use everything that I go through... to be better. I use it all to just fuel the fire, to grow and learn from.

I think it's more important to pray for my son than go out with my friends drinking at a bar until midnight while he waits for me to come home.

The best thing that you can do is show up every day and give it everything that you have, because anything outside of that is out of your control.

I got my process down, I got my way I go about things and I surround myself with good people around me and they've done a great job of protecting me.
