Obviously, I didn't get looked at and didn't get recruited by Fresno State or any other school in the nation, to be honest. It has always been my goal to go into every game and show you why you should have recruited me, why you should have offered me.

I'm the type of guy who wants the pressure.
I'm not going to sit here and say I know everything about everything. I definitely have work to do. The thing is, I'm willing to admit that.
I'm not going to bow down to anybody, not going to back away from anybody.
It's every kid's dream to be drafted No. 1.
Seeing my dad wake up super early when the sun wasn't even out and then coming home when the sun was set, he worked his tail off to provide for our family and did a great job. He's the most selfless man I know, and I think if I'm half the man he is, I'll be all right in this world.
Hue Jackson is a great guy.
I'm not really too focused on where I get drafted. It's what I do after I get drafted.
If you didn't want to believe in me, that's OK, because I'll make a believer out of you.
The key to my accuracy is making sure my feet are set right and trying to have a more polished throwing motion, a more polished stroke, you can say. When my feet are right, my hips are allowed to open a little better, which is kind of where your accuracy comes from.
I want to be the guy that turns around the Cleveland Browns. The guy that does that is going to be immortalized in Cleveland forever.
I'm the ultimate competitor.
I think that kids who are at smaller schools or don't have offers from big schools can look at my story and continue to work hard. I preach to them that it doesn't matter where you come from: it matters how you play and how you apply yourself.
I truly felt like I was a Division I quarterback, and I'd felt that way for a long time. I just wanted other people to see it.
Whatever team I go to, I'm going to give them everything, show them the type of character that I am because, like I said, my teammates know exactly who I am; they can vouch for me.
That preconceived notion of me being inaccurate is completely false, and I look forward to changing that over time.
There's one thing about me: I do love the game of football.
I'm going to prove I belong. There's a lot of skepticism about the type of player I am, where I come from, the University of Wyoming, obviously.
If I'm fortunate enough to become a Cleveland Brown, you can expect everything from me.
I definitely would embrace that opportunity to be the No. 1 overall pick, obviously that every quarterback would love to be that. It's no different for me.
I'm a firm believer in your gut being undefeated.
At the end of the day, it's not where you get drafted. It's not going to set you in stone with how good you're going to be in your NFL career. Obviously, it's being surrounded by the right people, the right coaches, how you present yourself, how you work hard.
The only thing I've ever wanted to do is play professional football, and be a professional quarterback, so now that it's here and it's getting close, it's just kind of making all that pain and suffering and waiting and working hard worth it.
A defensive coordinator is always going to try to throw you something different and get you out of your element, and I have to do better with the pass protection.
