It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing.

Nothing ever turns out the way people expect it to.

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.

It's hard to win in the NFL. You have to maintain a very delicate balance putting together the right team to be able to win and have any amount of success.

Individual goals never meant that much to me. The Heisman is no exception.

It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets. I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions' players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization.

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