If you're out there stressing on your pro day, then you're not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun.

When you have fans who are hassling you the entire game and you ignore them, they respect you because their job is to try and distract you. And if they don't distract you, that means you're focused on doing your job. And who knows, by the end, sometimes you even win them over.Robert Griffin III
