“He always pushed the bar higher, and I think his best days are probably still in front of him. He's as good as any tight end in the country in my opinion.”
“I think they were reading a rookie quarterback's eyes, and a few times I gave myself away. I've got to learn when to force some things, and when to throw things away. I talked to Peyton (afterward), and he says it's going to get better.”
“We all kind of have a chip on our shoulder. Let us be the youngest quarterbacks in the NFL, you know? Let people talk about us. We're going to get it done and we'll take pride in that.”
“It's just different. I had a target on me in college, but it's not like the target you have when an NFL quarterback rolls out of the pocket. Everyone's eyes light up, and everybody just turns and reacts to you. It wasn't like that at other levels.”
