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

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.

I quit because I didnt feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game.

Shortly after the end of last season, I felt that I probably would not return for the 1999-2000 season. I also felt that I should take as much time as possible to sort through my feelings and make sure that my feelings were backed with conviction.

Life doesn't stop with football.

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

Happiness does not come from football awards. It's terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don't dream football, I dream the American dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
