I don't think there's a commitment problem. There might have been early on when I ran into some issues in St. Louis. I know there is a perception out there. I really cannot be concerned about the perception that's out there. That will all change with a successful career here in Canada.

Football has never been out of my system. It's part of who I am. It probably will never be out of my system.

I've never really found a home. That's the tough part of playing in this sport is that you hop around quite a bit and not fit in and find a groove, and I really feel this is that opportunity for me to fit in.

I might just be one of those guys who can't give it up until I can't walk anymore.

Damon Allen is obviously the starting quarterback, but I'm coming in with the mind-set that I want to be a starter. I'm going to come and compete for a job, and if it's as a backup that's where it is ... I'm excited to have (Damon) there. It's going to be a big boost for me.

It has been a long time coming and I'm excited to be part of the Argonauts. I can't wait to get to camp and I am eager to become part of the Toronto community.
