Sam Darnold

It's been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, so whenever I hear my name being talked about in someone's mock draft or whether or not he should stay or go, it's always interesting to listen to, but at the same time, I don't take it for granted.

We haven't won a Super Bowl in, I think, 50 years, so the Jets fans who are out there are die-hard Jets fans. It's like generational fandom.

Interviewing people is hard.

Pizza and burgers are really different. It depends on my mood. Right now, I could go for both. I don't want to pick one. I don't think it would be fair to the burger or to the pizza.

I want to go to the 9/11 Memorial. I heard that's amazing and crazy to look at, an amazing museum. So I haven't done that. I'd like to do that.

I got a chance to meet and hang out with Sam Hunt. He's actually a pretty cool dude.

You never plan on losing double-digit games in a season. You don't plan on losing any.

Whenever you put so much time and effort into one single game, and you go out there and lose, it sucks.

A lot of kids, especially football players, had been using Twitter for recruiting.

I'm really pumped about this opportunity to be with Coach Gase... with his mind and ability to lead a team. He's a good dude.

I definitely take notes, but I feel like sometimes if I take too many notes, it kind of bogs down my mind a little bit. So, I just write down stuff that I need to remember for the game.

To be the No. 1 pick, that would be so special.

Turning the ball over is something you don't want to do as a quarterback.

I think the number one job as a quarterback is protecting the football.

If Cleveland takes me No. 1, it would be a great opportunity, first of all, and that goes for anyone taking me in any position.

I really want to prove to people that I'm capable of leading a franchise, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the No. 1 team to select me.

It's really important as a quarterback to have stability in all your joints but especially in the lower body, like the ankles, knees, and hips.

I like squats because they help build that foundation of strength. I do tons of single-leg moves for strength and balance because they let you test your strength in one leg at a time. But even on my leg days, I make sure to fit in some core work.

When I run, I really need to make sure I'm engaging my core and understanding where my power comes from.

I love comedy, and I love listening to comedians talk.

I just like hanging out with my friends, honestly. I mean, as long as I'm in good company and with cool people, and we're just hanging out and having a good time, that's usually what I like to do.

In the offseason, sometimes I'll go on Google and see if anything's up about me, if anything's being said about me.

New York is kind of like L.A. If I walk around, not everyone is going to notice me because not everyone watches football, especially in New York. But I feel like everyone in Jersey is a Jets fan, and I always get recognized here.

I find joy in watching my teammates celebrate and do what they do. Whenever I throw them the ball, I love watching my teammates celebrate.

Coach Gase has done amazing things, not with just quarterbacks but offenses in general.
