Drew Bledsoe Quotes

There's got to be a fine line where I can find I'm still throwing the ball how I usually throw it, but it's able to dive down after a certain height and get to the guy.

My throwing motion is what it is.

I never actually thought about my delivery. I was always just throwing the ball.

The three most important pitches I threw in my life were all fastballs.

I'm at a point where there isn't any wasted movement in the throwing motion. Everything is consistent and smooth. When I first got into the league, I held the ball really high. That was the standard in college, and it messed up my timing a little bit - the draw, bringing it back, then the release.

I know I can throw.

I'm the kind of person that if I try to throw it hard, it doesn't come out as good. So my whole thought process is to stay smooth, stay on top of the ball, and just get my hand out in front.

I've got a quick release and I can throw the ball accurately as long as I bring my feet with me.

Never reach for the knuckleball; I just let it come to me.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

When you're throwing the football the way you want to, you're not thinking about it. You're not thinking about your drop or your release point or the trajectory or where your feet are. It's just coming off your hand exactly the way you want it to, fluid and confident.

I was fascinated by Harry Gilmer and wanted to learn to throw the ball just like him.

My curveball is a C-.

I'm not gonna throw a Ryan Leaf bullet, but I've got a good enough arm, where I think it'll turn some heads and keep them interested.

Cam Newton, his best throw is better than anybody's best throw. I'm gonna say that right off the bat. But I will take consistency over volatile play any day of the week.

You can always get better throwing the football.

At an early age, if you develop a delivery or a throwing motion that is direct to the plate, then that's fine. If you have one that's slightly open, that's fine, too.

I was a thrower. I think I'm more of a pitcher now.

I'm pretty proud of my fastball. I can throw a screwball. It's not as accurate, and I don't have the velocity like I do with my fastball, but I think my fastball is not too shabby.
