Brian Griese

“It's a humbling experience to be in this league. You can be on top of the world one week and at the bottom the next.”

“I'm not going to be my dad. I'm not going to be John Elway. I'm going to be Brian Griese.”

“I've always been an underdog. I'm not the biggest, I'm not the fastest, I'm not the strongest. I've had to earn everything I've gotten.”

“You learn a lot about yourself in adversity.”

“I think every quarterback has to have a short memory, good and bad.”

“When you get an opportunity, you've got to be ready to take advantage of it.”

“Pressure is what you feel when you don't know what you're doing.”

“I always felt like I had to prove myself, and that's a good thing. It keeps you hungry.”

“The quarterback position is a leadership position. You have to be able to command the respect of your teammates.”

“My dad never pushed me into football, but he was always there to support me.”
