One thing my dad always told me, was he would make sure I always had what he didn't have. He couldn't play basketball because he didn't have tennis shoes - so I had five pairs of tennis shoes.

More quotes by Robert Griffin III
The day I think about throwing the ball away at the beginning of a play, I should stop playing.
Robert Griffin III
For me, a quarterback's best friend, especially a young quarterback's best friend, is a coach who believes in him.
Robert Griffin III
You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
Robert Griffin III
I have no preferred team, but everyone wants to go No. 1 in the draft. Even the guy who gets picked last in the draft wants to go No. 1. But I just know that whoever picks me, I'm going to be excited to play for that team, and I can't wait to see myself in 'Madden' on that team.
Robert Griffin III
I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.
Robert Griffin III
I still don't think it's sunk in that I won the Heisman. I'll be able to reflect back on the season, appreciate those types of things and realize that although I wanted to 'be like Mike' when I was growing up, now I get to go out and be in the NFL.
Robert Griffin III
I try to go through my reads and then, if I have the option to run, I do run.
Robert Griffin III
It's always a lot more fun as a quarterback if you can do things you don't normally get to do. So if I can catch a pass and make a play for the team, that's what I'm willing to do.
Robert Griffin III
My dad served 21 years and my mom did 13, so through that process, they taught me that I always have to give back.
Robert Griffin III
It's not something to complain about, but just the major difference between college and the pros is that in college you're guaranteed four to five years so long as you don't do anything criminally and in the pros you're guaranteed one day because you can be cut the next.
Robert Griffin III
There's a fine line between playing with fear and then taking bad plays and playing with no fear.
Robert Griffin III
There's something about football that's exciting. The defense is trying to shut you down and you're trying to blow people up.
Robert Griffin III
As a quarterback, obviously, you're going to be put in the forefront whether you like it or not, and if you're not then you're not doing your job.
Robert Griffin III
There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.
Robert Griffin III
Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I'm up for that.
Robert Griffin III
My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.
Robert Griffin III
The speed will increase and the players will be better, but also the players around you will be a lot better. It all cancels itself out.
Robert Griffin III
I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.
Robert Griffin III
You can be a catalyst for change but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
Robert Griffin III
I try to keep my confidence on the charts, but I'm a confident guy as well. You've got to be that way. If you don't think that you're the best, then you won't perform that way.
