00:17 >> I don't compare myself to the other guys, you know, that's there or been there.
00:21 I think I'm my own player and, you know, I tend to like to, you know,
00:27 create history and rewrite history.
00:29 >> It's the first time I'm hearing about my height and size.
00:31 You know, I'm around Aaron Rodgers' size and maybe weight too, 215, 220, and 6162.
00:39 >> What went into the decision?
00:41 >> She heard that about the artist or surgeon thing and I like to think that when it's time
00:47 to be surgical, you know, it's time to be surgical.
00:49 You know, there's been many games where it gets late in the game and I've ran or scrambled
00:55 and, you know, through a crazy pass, that's been the artist, the magician.
00:58 And then, you know, there's been times where even, you know,
01:02 when I hurt my hamstring and I couldn't run, I sat in the pocket the whole time, you know,
01:05 the rest of the game and delivered the ball.
01:07 It's important to be in the pocket.
01:11 It's part of the game.
01:12 It's also important to be out of the pocket and just be, you know, just as good as you are
01:16 in the pocket and out of pocket.
01:17 >> What were you doing when you were little?
01:19 >> My dad put me in football when I was four.
01:22 My mom didn't let me play tackle football my first year.
01:24 I thought I was going to love it.
01:26 At four years old, I did.
01:29 And the next year after that, I was a bit too aggressive with flag football.
01:34 So my mom let me-- she let me play tackle.
01:36 And from there, I fell in love even more.
01:38 By the time I hit 11 or 12, I told my dad that this is what I wanted to do.
01:43 And I'd say anywhere I go, that's my standard.
01:45 That's what I play for, as you all saw.
01:47 I said, don't play for fame.
01:50 I don't play for money.
01:51 I don't play for jewels and things like that.
01:55 I don't-- it's, you know, it's to go out there and win as many games
01:58 as possible, be the best that I can.
01:59 You know, my plan is if I can be my best and play as many games as possible at my best,
02:05 I think I can reach certain points like that.
