“The blessing my parents gave me,” he recalled, “was when I was that longshot as a kid who was a backup quarterback on a freshman team, they never said, ‘Man, don’t do that. It’s going to be too hard. Let’s do something different. Let’s think about another backup plan.’”

“They kind of said, ‘You know what? Go for it. Whatever you wanna be’… and that’s probably my parenting style.”
