In the NFL, you have a short shelf life. As a running back, if you're the first pick, and you're NFL life expectancy is only 3.5-6 years, your first big contract might not come until three years in - well, you might never get there. They need to get those signing bonuses up front because nothing is guaranteed.

I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.

It doesn't matter if you want to be in the NFL or do something else. If you want something great, you won't get it sitting around.

I heard that all the time. ‘He makes it look too easy, he doesn’t run hard.’ It was always a slight on me.

Running is so natural to me. When I was running track, people used to ask me, "When are you gonna start running hard?" The wind hits me in the face, and I feel so smooth - Man, I love to run!

I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half.

I hated the goggles, don’t get me wrong, but I felt naked without them. Almost like playing without a helmet.
