When I started out as a little kid, I didn't say 'I just want to run football.' I wanted to be a great athlete.

I was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.

I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.

Without a doubt in my mind, I should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. You look at my stats without my USFL stats, and I don't know how you can argue with that. Look at my combined yards. I'm not one to make excuses, so I'll play by their rules and not even count the USFL stats.

I was a little different. I still say Im a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.

My God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else.

I'd usually read the Bible a lot. Read little short Bible stories. And today, whenever I give speeches, I bring up a few of those Bible stories, because those are inspirations to me.
