It's a big thing back in my hometown about me being here. There are a lot of people behind me.

I'm not being conceited or anything, but we have a great team.

I have a soft side that I like people to see. I'm not mean. That's just football. That's just the way you've got to go. You can't go into a game that is that violent and be soft. You can't be that way.

I can be in the NFL as long as any other back. I went late in the draft because no one thought I could do it.

It's a big change for a country boy like me, to be in the limelight in New York City. It was most definitely a tough adjustment.

The stuff I went through at Auburn? It didn't matter anymore. I just wanted to play football.

I'm not really trying to break the bank like some other people. I just want what's fair.
