Kevin Knox Quotes

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.

I think I could describe the perfect quarterback. Take a little piece of everybody. Take John Elway's arm, Dan Marino's release, maybe Troy Aikman's drop-back, Brett Favre's scrambling ability, Joe Montana's two-minute poise and, naturally, my speed.

I don't believe that you can be too short as a quarterback. It's not about height.

Carson Wentz, when you watch him on tape, No. 1, I just like a big guy that has athleticism.

I've said for many, many years, as long as I can ever remember, when I'm asked, 'Hey, what do you look for first in a quarterback?' The first thing I look for is accuracy, because the rest of it doesn't matter.

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.

I think I have all of the things you look for in a QB. The drive, the leadership, the intangibles, as well as what you look for in a QB.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

I like to think I'm pretty close in comparison to Aaron Rodgers. He's very athletic and gets the ball out quickly. He's very knowledgeable of the game, controls the offense totally, and that's something I try to do. Just know the offense inside and out.

When you play quarterback, you have to process information quickly, get the ball out of your hand to the right guy.

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.

Donovan McNabb has great, fast feet and has learned to lock them in to run the Eagles' offense effectively.

When you play quarterback your whole life, you're kind of taught to sit in the pocket. If you want to get out of there quick, you probably shouldn't play quarterback.

I think my game isn't very flashy, but the test of time for the position of quarterback is how fast can you get the ball out of your hands to the right guy? And I think I do that better than everyone else.

It's one thing as a quarterback to sit there and warm up. And there's one thing to throw routes. And there's another thing when you drop back in the pocket and, when a guy comes open, to really be able to urgently - bam - all of a sudden. That guy's open; your body has to do what your mind's telling you.

Some of the best quarterback play is when you're able to move in the pocket and still make throws down the field because it's not going to be clean every time.

I'm good at extending plays and finding throwing lanes.

I can make all the throws. My mental side is a strength as far as understanding defense schemes and our playbook. I'm able to change plays when needed. I think that sets me apart.

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

Obviously, I love the idea of athletic quarterbacks.

Quarterback play starts with your eyes and feet. Those have to be in the right place and have to be on time.

You see Tom Brady, you see Alex Smith, and you see all those guys in the pocket and how quick they are with their footwork and how they get the ball out fast. I have to get like that.

Great quarterbacks, good quarterbacks, make plays.

As you progress high school, college into the league, you can tell the difference between quarterbacks with their timing and the way the ball comes out of their hand.

A quarterback is always going to be the most valuable player on a football field because he touches the ball every single offensive play.
