One thing I always do in the huddle, pre-snap, is make eye contact.
Jameis Winston
I always was a guy that wanted to be liked. That wanted to be like everyone else, not really understanding that the platform that I had was different than others. Not really understanding that God expects more from his leaders that he does from people who are not really committed to Him.
A lot of people thought I was fat, but I'm proving everybody wrong.
Every game I try to get better and better.
I probably have more success in football, but baseball is a passion of mine, and I want to play as long as possible.
My main goal as a leader is to be a huge advocate in the community and I've done that and I want to continue to do that.
Well, traditionally, how I grew up, I grew up in the Baptist Church, always going to church every Sunday, Sunday school, vacation Bible school.
I'm a strong believer that coaches coach and players play.
Bottom line, to win football games, we've got to get Mike Evans the ball.
In the NFL, you have to take advantage of every opportunity that you get, and if you don't, you'll usually lose.
I'm going to be a good quarterback, a great quarterback.
Draft day is just another chapter in my life.
It's not about you playing when everything is going good, it's how you react when things are going bad and not going your way.
I just love Coach Koetter's offense.
I want to be better than Bo Jackson, hopefully.
When I was young, I always wanted to be great at football.
Well, ever since I was six, I had a little notebook with coverages and notes on the mental aspect of a game, what it meant to be a leader and what type of attitude you had to have.
I can't be careless with the ball.
It would be a privilege to be accepted by the Glazer family in Tampa.
When you can put your whole body into things, you can create so much power.
Coach Koetter coaches his tail off, and he definitely supports me.
Southern Florida ain't even Florida for real. It's like New York, Chicago, the beaches.
I was always raised as a student first and an athlete second. I think that's the main purpose in college. Some athletes lose that perspective.
I just love the game. I've got a passion for the game.
Every week, I'm trying to work on something and improve on something.
When I think about football, I think about my love, my passion, what has football done for me as far as discipline, as far as learning how to lead. It taught me a lot about life.
I'm gonna be myself. I'm gonna continue to be myself.
I don't have time to think about bad things, I'm always looking forward. Focusing on the positive, not the negative.
I'm not a selfish player; it's about our team.
Going out there and losing is so easy. I want stuff to be hard - that's why I want to win championships, I want to win games.
I'm really just excited to play football. It's a win-win situation for me. I just got to go out there and do what I do best. It's what God blessed me to do, so I've got to do it.
Sometimes, you get kind of redundant by learning the same offense over and over again.
One great lesson that I would just pass along to every young person out there or anybody that feels that they can handle everything by themselves, that feels all they need is themselves, their sheer will and their confidence, I would disagree with that.
I draw a lot of comparisons with Cam Newton and E.J. Manuel. But for the mental part, I like to view myself as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and those guys. Because they're so ahead of everyone else when it comes to that part of the game.
As a quarterback, you have to be able to nickel-and-dime down the field.
I really would want Tampa, the city of Tampa, to help build me and to help me become a better young man and become someone that they would want in their community.
I want to be someone who depended on his mind, his arm.
I experienced different things growing up as a child that helped me. That helped mold me into the man that I am now, to the athlete that I am now.
One thing that I've learned is if you can play it don't matter what age you are, it doesn't matter.
Not many kids get the opportunity to meet their idol, I know I wish I did.
I dream of being a Hall of Famer one day.
I believe that people make mistakes, but I also believe that you bounce back from those and I'm just moving forward.
I'm a regular college student.
God is teaching me to really just take small increments towards Him every single day. One thing about Jesus. He's always walking towards us because he wants to guide us. But all we have to do, we have to be willing to be vulnerable and take steps towards Him.
I know who I am as a person and as a player.
The thing about this league that I've learned is that you can't really harp too much on your last game. The next game is the most important game and you've got to prepare for that.
Me and Coach Koetter have a great relationship, first and foremost, and we've got the same goal when we go out there on that football field - and that's to win the football game.
Coming from high school, when you sit that first year, if you love football, have respect for the game.
I think it would be a privilege to play in Tampa, period, with the Florida State fan base and everything I have been involved with in the state of Florida.
I always knew that my identity wasn't in football. It wasn't in baseball. I knew it's always been in Christ and just my upbringing has always led me to have a tremendous faith that God was going to see me through and he would not give me too much that I couldn't bear.
