My first two years in the CFL, all I thought of was getting back to the NFL - it was like 'I'll put my time in up here and go back.' Then I went and signed a nice contract in Calgary and was like, 'Hey, I can make a living up here, this is great football, and I'm having a blast.'

The CFL made me a more versatile QB because of all the things you had to do once you got on the field. And if I wasn't as versatile as I was, I wouldn't have been as successful in all the different offenses that I was in, in the NFL.

Though I loved books as a young boy, I loved sports even more. I wanted to be a quarterback in the CFL.

I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

I've been fortunate and blessed to further my career in the Arena Football League, and I've had a good time doing it.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I've always wanted to play quarterback, and I lucked out to be able to play for my favorite team - America's team. I'm just living the moment. I feel like all of this was supposed to happen. When you work hard, things work your way.

I started playing football young, and my career was on the pitch.

There's a big difference between where I came from and the NFL. Things like this don't happen to people from there often. It just took a lot of hard work and dedication, staying on the right path, believing in myself, and having an inner drive.

I wanted to be in the situation where I could have a chance to go to the NFL and be a great quarterback and take care of my family.
