“I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community."

“I expect to make big plays. And when I don’t, I’m upset about it.”

“The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me—a guy who could lead this team to a championship.”

“I get people stopping me on the street like twenty times a day, telling me how great it makes them feel and how it just helps them to go about their day and rebuild their lives. It means a tremendous amount.”

“When you care about a guy beyond just the field, that’s when the chemistry becomes really special.”

“We always try to mix it up—three-step drop, five-step drop, seven-step drop, naked bootleg. We spread out all these kinds of things to keep  the defensive pass rush unbalanced.”

“The Super Bowl is a realistic goal.”

“I expect to win out there.”
