To a lot of people, I might just be the guy who went No. 1 in the draft. Or the guy who lost his job to Colin Kaepernick. Or the guy who helped turn a 2-14 Chiefs team into a back-to-back division champ... but then couldn't put them over the top.
Losing is not fun.
As a quarterback, you certainly don't want to hamstring your team in any way because - I know this more than anyone - you rely so heavily on those playmakers around you.
I don't know if there were many pros for me playing early. I feel like I dug myself a pretty deep hole that rookie year.
I write with pen and paper, my first draft, on legal pads.
The draft is an exciting time.
They don't draft you to sit there and stand on the sideline.
I'm constantly revising. Once the book is written and typed, I go through the entire draft again.
I don't write a play from beginning to end. I don't write an outline. I write scenes and moments as they occur to me. And I still write on a typewriter. It's not all in ether. It's on pages. I sequence them in a way that tends to make sense. Then I write what's missing, and that's my first draft.
