Cody Pickett Quotations

No one's talking about how he can help his team win a football game Sunday,

I'd better start gaining some more weight if I'm going to be tackling people. I've been losing all this weight playing Marvin Harrison and Larry Fitzgerald.

I think anybody who's competitive is going to have a chip on their shoulder if they're drafted low like that, ... If you're content with that, you're not going to ever do anything.

Our offensive line won the game today, ... We just ran it on them all day, and those guys did a great job.

I was bit by the bug, ... That's what I pursued.

As much as it eats you up inside not to play (quarterback), you've got to understand the circumstances, ... If I can make myself useful to this team, that's another day of experience I'm getting. I'll do whatever they need me to do for that.

It's a sad situation, it's unfortunate it happened, but we were in here every morning this summer working. We've got a great challenge ahead of us at the end of the month, we play Ohio State at their place, and we have to put it behind us.

It was good that I got a chance to go out there and be a part of it, ... If they do say I'm going to be the starter, I've got a lot to do, a lot of work. I'm sure I'll be watching film here all week.

It was strong. It was tough throwing the ball. It changed. It wasn't blowing in one direction at any time.

It's fun to go out there and be able to contribute. Everybody in here is competitive -- you want to do what you can. I'm a quarterback. I want to play quarterback, but right now (with) the situation ... I'll do anything I can to help the team.

It's been a roller coaster for me. I had to fight just to be around. I was told I was going to be here but on special teams. Then Tim was traded and I was No. 3. Now I might be No. 2.

It takes a little getting used to, but hopefully it's something I'm going to get better and better at, ... I'm just here trying to make this team, and whatever they want me to do, I'm going to do it.

I'm sure it's going to be crazy, ... But last year, we opened at Michigan in front of 110,000, we've been at Miami during their national championship season, we play at Oregon -- we're used to playing in some tough atmospheres.

I'm very confident in my ability to play quarterback. I just have to be patient.

I'm a very competitive person, so running around on special teams is a lot more fun and a lot more interesting than getting no action at all,

I don't want to start jumping to conclusions about moving to safety. It's just a chance to go out there and run around a little bit.

I came off the field and told Timmy (Rattay), 'Did I just play special teams right now?' ... Guys were yelling at me, 'Cody, what are you doing?' I just pretended like I didn't hear them, because I didn't have an answer for them.
