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

When you look at guys who get recruited, most of the best athletes, they come from poor families. I don't forget. I was a junior looking through my mother's stuff and looked at her bank statement, and we had $30 in the bank.

Playing the running back position, your legs, that's your living, that's how you make your living. You have to have great thighs, knees, everything.

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

I've stayed buddies with my old buddy Jackie Slater. I talk to Jackie Slater. I play golf with Marcus Allen a lot. I play golf with Marshall Faulk a lot. My buddy Craig Young, he lives up in New Mexico. I still talk to a lot of the guys.

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!

When I loved it, I loved it. It was nothing better.
