Steve Young

I don't regret any of the places I went in football. Everything gave me an experience or memories that I'll have forever. We had more success in San Francisco, but it was a great time everywhere. I always had fun.

No one will ever say Dwight Clark was selfish.

I had worked hard my entire career to establish myself as a leader. But I wasn't a leader until I was perceived as one.

Over time, I learned that how a quarterback moves the chains and leads his team to touchdowns is about as important as whether he actually does it or not.

My biggest problem when I was younger was trying to balance my ability with what the team needed me to do to officially run the offense.

The demands of excellent NFL quarterbacking I always said took every piece of me, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually. It was like it just took it all, and I think that was what was so energizing about it and unreplicable.

The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.

If you exhaust every play out of the pocket, what happens is you find more opportunities.
