“Being a quarterback, I have to be calm in the pocket while chaos is happening all around me. With the Nissan Altima, I feel that I have the same calmness while driving, no matter the circumstances on the road,” boasts the 6 ft 2 in. 205-lb quarterback originally from Happy Camp, California. “My favourite feature about the Altima is that it’s a hybrid. Along with dependability I save a lot on gas which, these days, helps a ton.”
