That’s why I can handle people calling radio shows and lying about me. That’s why I can handle some of the adverse situations I face, and that’s why I can handle success.” See also List of NCAA major college football yearly passing leaders Notes References 1972 births Living people American football quarterbacks Baltimore Ravens players Cleveland Browns players Fresno State Bulldogs football players National
