8th string as a freshman. OC wouldn’t coach a lefty. Was moved to defense that winter. Then we got a new OC. I was backing up Jim McMahon by April. And the rest is history.
If it’s your dream, and you’re willing to put the work in, never give up on it.

All lines disappear — there are no winners or losers, no records, no separation by teams. No matter where or when you played, today we are one family, one brotherhood united in prayer for Damar.

Tough loss needless to say. My heart’s with the crew, they left it all out on the field.
Back to 0-0. Climb the mountain again.
And next year, take it from their bloody hands.

Mike Shanahan said in pregame that we’d throw for 8 tds. I guess that’s how you throw 6 — go for 8 . . .

These are my people. I feel a tremendous kinship to the challenge of being mobile and playing the position. So when I see my guys in a situation that's not being given the opportunity to flourish, I’m gonna speak up.
Hall of Fame QB Steve Young had to get STUFF OFF HIS CHEST as it pertains to Lamar Jackson.
“Don’t tell me, ‘Well, that’s Lamar - he can’t do certain things.’ I pull my hair out … because do not diminish the potential of what Lamar Jackson can be in the game today. The game…
4 dropped balls and 1 fumble going into this snap.

When it comes to mental health, we need to end the shame.
At a minimum, we all have insecurities. And many of us have greater challenges.
We could all benefit from getting mentally healthier — so let’s give each other the grace to do that.

The holistic ability to process, filter, and decipher (in 2-3 seconds) who should get the ball -- and to do it successfully over and over again to the point that opponents can't stop you -- that’s the superpower.
Said goodbye to my friend and coach Greg Knapp today after tragic bicycle accident. He was one of a kind. He had a big impact on me. Much love to him and his family.
Aaron Rodgers thx for very rational explanation. Baffles the mind that Packers won’t engage w him on personnel. My greatest regret was not raising my voice more. Brian G let him in the room where it happens! He would be hugely additive to the conversation.

In 1980, Steve Young was the 8th-string quarterback at BYU.
He was on the scout team and was continually getting beat up. He was frustrated and ready to quit.
Steve called his dad and said, "I'm done...This is crazy, I'm coming home."
His dad's response changed his life…

Your 2,166 yards from scrimmage that year was pretty tough to argue with

What I ultimately learned from the great Bill Walsh:
It’s actually the relationships that make you great. It’s hard to get very far if you don’t love who you’re in the trenches with.
I asked Steve Young the best thing Bill Walsh taught him about football. I expected an answer about strategy. Instead I got something sorta amazing. Watch this:
