A Quote by Doug Pederson

With the quarterback position, because you're touching the ball every single snap, you want to make a play and you just have to guard against that. It's about making the plays that come to you, not necessarily chasing after plays.

I've never had a quarterback run-driven offense. We don't run designed plays where we snap the ball directly to the quarterback and he's just running it. If the defense is cheating and overcompensating for your running back, then the quarterback needs to keep (it) honest.

Chip Kelly

I'd like to be in a position to have plays run through me and share the ball, make plays. Still score, obviously, but make plays, as well.

Brook Lopez

As a quarterback, you've got a huge responsibility: You're touching the ball every single play. You have such a big impact on deciding the game, just in your decision-making and how you are with the football and your fundamentals.

Alex Smith

I don't believe really good plays - interesting plays, complicated plays - can mean just one thing to every single person in the audience.

Joe Mantello

Having the ball in my hand all the time and making plays, it was bound to come to a point where I knew where to get the ball to, who and when to give the ball to somebody. Just making the right decisions when I have it.

Andre Drummond

It's one of the best feelings in the world to hit the quarterback like that, hear the crowd go crazy, and then to watch it on film. You look forward to those types of plays. The best part about it is that you never know when it's going to come. Every play you've got to go hard and every play you've got to think and believe that you're going to get that quarterback sack. If you don't get it that play it might be the next play so you've always got to be thinking about it, and when it comes, it's the best.

Darrion Scott

For me, it's about making the winning plays, making the right plays, making the basketball plays and being aggressive whether it's on defense or offense.

Pat Connaughton

Anytime I get the opportunity to get the ball, I just want to make good plays and help my team win the game and just create big plays.

DeSean Jackson

If you go out and practice super hard and then you go play in the game, it's going to be a lot more natural for you. You'll be able to catch the ball and think fast and start making plays, making people miss and turning it into the next phase of the play rather than just catching the ball and being surprised and happy that you caught the ball.

Davante Adams

I always go back to who I am as a player, and what got me into the league. It wasn't by demanding the ball or anything. It was about doing what's best for the team, doing my job the best I can, showing up on film and making the plays when they come my way during games. That's what I focus on every single week.

Chris Hogan

The quarterback is the leader of the team and the quarterback is the one that has the ball in his hands every single play.

Andy Dalton

I like the way Michael Crabtree plays the game. He's strong, he goes up for the ball, he has that mentality to just make plays.

Amari Cooper

Pretty much just stay humble. And continue to work hard and let the game come to me and try not to make even more plays or jump plays. Just let the game come to me and play my defense and my responsibility.

Ed Reed

The team aspect of football and just playing quarterback, having the ball in your hands, having to make the plays, that was definitely something I loved.

Patrick Mahomes

I just try to play as hard as I can every possession. If you're aware and you're high-energy, the ball will eventually bounce your way and you'll be able to make plays.
