I'm not better than anyone else. I'm not supposed to be on a pedestal. I've always stayed away from that.

I don't dream football. I dream the American Dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.

The Heisman is the biggest award I've ever won.

Maybe a good rule in life is never become too important to do your own laundry.

I'm from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that's for sure.

I sat behind Thurman Thomas for my first couple of years, then my first year starting I won the Heisman. After I won the Heisman, that’s when things changed as far as going to the NFL.

A lot of times I did lose yards on a run, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
