I just want to be happy. I want to be happy and be able to finish my career in the right way.

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.

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

Here I am as a running back, making a pretty good living, actually doing pretty good.

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.

Just one thing has to change, and that's me staying healthy.

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.
