When they have their hands on their knees, that's when they're tired.

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

I don't love football the way I once loved the game. I don't look at it as fun anymore, and it definitely used to be fun. A lot of the fun has been taken away from it, I guess, because you go through so much on the field and off the field.

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.

I believe if I stay tall and run up high, I can see better.

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.

Football isn't who we are, it doesn't necessarily define us. It's part of our life and it always will be, but football won't define us. Excellence does.
