Alexander Volkanovski Quotes

So the truth is, if there's a lesson to be learned from mobile quarterbacks, it is deliver the ball from the pocket, which demands mastery of the data that is involved working in the pocket, which is, 'I know everything about everything.'

Place means nothing to me. I can be at home anywhere.

I guess I just tend to feel at home wherever I go.

I would start with the most important thing a quarterback has to be: poised. If you panic in that pocket, you are no good. I don't care what else is there; you have to be poised.

You must be confident and on top of all the plays you call.

If you can grab a ball and throw it, you can grab a ball and throw it. I don't care how tall you are, either. I'm not gonna see over a 6-foot-7 left tackle. You've gotta find lanes; you've gotta know where your guys are. It's not about the height: if you can win ball games, you can win 'em.

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

When I got the ball in the reserves, within two touches I would turn and look to attack my opponent, whereas in the first team, I was trying for the safer option. I needed to go back to basics. I needed to get defenders on the back foot again.

I feel like, even if a guy is covered, I can put the ball where it needs to be so we can have a successful play.

I think for any QB, if you play with confidence you play well because you're confident in what you're doing; you're confident in where you're going with the ball.

If they need me to have 25 carries and eight catches a game, whatever they need me to do, I'm ready to go. Or if they need me to have eight carries and six catches but play the whole game and pass protect and help shifts on the D-ends, I'm ready to go.

I never feel like I'm in a rush. I'm controlling the pace. If I have the ball and hit the hole right now and get 3 yards, I feel like I can be patient, work for something, knowing I can still get the 3. It's something that's hard to be coached on. I just feel I've perfected it over time.

A guy like Drew Brees is a guy that knows how to undress a defense. Most of the time he knows where he's gonna go before he even gets the ball. So he's ready to deliver that ball almost as soon as it comes to his hands.

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.

Out in the field, I feel like I'm flexible enough to where I'm comfortable at different positions, wherever they want to put me.

I just know I can't force things. I've just got to play the right way, make sure I'm making the right play at the right time.

I've had the benefit of doing pretty much everything. So I'm really pretty comfortable in any situation.

I like my kind of innate and natural ability in the pocket, and ability of anticipation, and all that stuff that's important when it comes to playing quarterback.

As a quarterback, you have to go out and take care of the ball. That is your No. 1 priority.

Quarterback - it's a boring, monotonous position that revolves around consistency.

One of my skills is knowing, 'This is where I'm needed, and this is how I'm needed and where I'm going to be in control and where I'm going to cede control and why.'

I feel no matter who I'm going against that I can get open in a number of ways.

I know when to go and when to stop. I'm the red, the yellow, and the green light. That's me in a nutshell.

When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.

I am comfortable in the uncomfortable.
