"Quarterback is very important. He's got to be a leader. He's got to be a tough guy. You've got to be the man. Because, when you go into the huddle, all eyes turn to the quarterback. And, when he's calling that play, you got to see confidence, determination, toughness. An Offensive Lineman can't do it. Nobody's looking at him. They don't see what he does until after the game."
- John Hannah
