Mitchell Trubisky

It's my job to run the offense and make sure everything goes smoothly.

It's all about controlling the huddle one play at a time and knowing my assignment, knowing my progression and where I've got to go with the ball.

You've got to be the most knowledgeable, and you've got to be competitive.

You've got to be the hardest-working guy.

You've got to be the first one in the door and last one out.

I don't think anyone wants to win more than I do.

I was a LeBron fan, wanted him to stay in Cleveland for the hometown team, but he made a decision for his family. You've got to respect that.

I love the grind. I think it makes you better in all facets of life.

Everyone in this league can throw the football and make plays.

Who wants to get sacked? Not me.

I want it to be here in Chicago. I'm going to play my heart and soul out for this team and give it everything I've got.

I'm not very good with the numbers and details and the language of contracts. I just want to play football.

I'm always mad when I throw an interception, but at the same time I don't care what anybody thinks.

I've definitely grown as a leader - being able to speak up, getting closer with coach and being on the same page, communicating and being more involved in the game plan and the checks throughout the game. Seeing the game a little bit better.

You just play your game and find a way to win for your team.

I don't know what hype you're talking about, I don't pay attention to it.

I was never a Packers fan.

My family calls me Mitchell. But I have friends and teammates who call me Mitch, as well. I don't have a preference.

Freshman year of college, one of my coaches was out with family friends or whatever. Somebody said my name and kind of stuttered it or mumbled it. He was like, 'What'd you say? Mr. Biscuit?' instead of Mitchell Trubisky. It kind of stuck that week of practice, and that's what all the boys started calling me.

My job is to come in here and do the best I can to the best of my ability.

I have to make sure I study and do my job.

I never worry about injury. When you go out there, you're playing football. And when you start worrying about those things, that's more when they happen, playing timid or keeping it in the back of your mind.

It feels good when you put the hard work in and it comes to life out on the field.

Grandma's Camry, I don't think it goes past 100. If you're in an F1 car you can do circles around my Grandma's Camry. But it's Ol' Reliable, for sure.

I've been trying to prove myself since I picked up this brown ball at the age of 7.

I'm thinking about football all the time... This is what I love to do.

We know to come to work every day. It just makes everything that much more fun.

I'm very humble that people are accepting me, and they are proud that I'm their quarterback.

You need balance in your life all-around. When you find that balance and relax and get away from the game a little bit - and when you come back, you just go that much harder.

The more reps you get, the more you calm down and the less thinking you're doing. Then you just go out and play.

I've got to continue to study, and if it's not the plays, it's studying more film, studying more defenses, watching other guys across the league, see what I can pick up.

If a teacher goes, 'Do you guys want an easy test?' You're going to say, 'Heck, yeah.' The less you've got to study, I'm going ace this test.

We've got to have that mindset that we've got to close out games and go up by more than two scores to really shut out the opponent and just take away all their confidence.

I love those words: killer instincts. Great teams, great players, they develop that, and it's not something that has to be said.

We're just going to continue to grow, keep getting better, but I definitely think it's the work we put in in practice.

Freshman year of college we got to go on a NASCAR course in Charlotte.

I know if you're not first, you're last. That's all you need to know.

You get frustrated because you're so competitive and you want to win every drill.

This is the best team sport ever created.

This isn't a one-man game. You're never going out there by yourself.

When you can recognize hot throws and blitzes, that's when they can slow down their blitz and they don't want to blitz you as much because you're getting the ball out.

I expect to play well.

I'm kind of OCD.

I like to try to play around 223, 220 pounds. It's a comfortable playing weight.

I'm human. I'm going to make mistakes, but I'm trying to do the best I can.

I'm very intense and passionate about what I do.

Control what you can control. I can control my emotions, my attitude, my effort every day.
