It's exciting when kids look up to you or kids come up to you and ask for your autograph. When grown ups come up to you, that's really not exciting. Why would a grown man be excited for meeting another grown man?

I was a pretty good DB, but I realized one day I would rather have someone trying to tackle me than me trying to tackle guys like Jerome Bettis and Eddie George.

I have the opportunity to control what happens in a game. I'll have the ball in my hand, and only I know what I'm going to do with it.

I'll do anything for kids but I don't sign anything for grownups anymore.

I don't feel like I have to live up to anything because I've proven that I can play. Give me the ball and let's go.

Hopefully I don't have to play for eight years but can go and relax somewhere and do something enjoyable while I'm still young.

I'm instinctive. I'm still learning how to run the ball. What I've done may look good to everyone else, but I know I'm capable of more than I've shown.
