Matt Cassel
In a career that would take him across two professional sports, Matt Cassel was born on May 17, 1982, in Los Angeles. He attended Chatsworth High School before going on to establish himself as an athlete at a higher level of competition.
An American citizen, Cassel built his professional life primarily around American football, working as a player in that sport over the course of his career. The game formed the central occupation of his adult life, and it is as a football player that his professional identity is most firmly established.
Alongside his work in American football, Cassel also pursued baseball as a player. That engagement with two separate sports distinguishes him from many athletes whose careers remain confined to a single discipline.
Born and raised in Los Angeles and educated at Chatsworth High School, Cassel went on to hold occupations in both American football and baseball. Those two sports, taken together, represent the documented scope of his professional athletic life.
Quotes by Matt Cassel
There are times when the criticism is something you deserve as a quarterback, and there are times when the people doing the criticizing don't know what they're talking about.
One word in one system might mean something else. You have to get a feel for it and study hard and then also when you get into these game-plan weeks, just bear down on what we're doing on a week-to-week basis.
I think the toughest job in football is always to be the starter, because everybody looks to you for guidance.
I've been through a lot in my career. I've been through the ups, I've been through the downs. I've been through the highs and the lows.
