I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games.

It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing defensively and then what our guys were doing every single play.

That's the thing about fear. Death will kill you once, but fear kills you over and over and over, if you let it.

It really lasted the whole game, because I was really untouchable, unstoppable that game. But it was heightened on one particular play, and that was the longest run where everything completely slowed down. My awareness was so keen, it was so heightened, it was really amazing.

But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody.

Even as voters, we try to keep up with the guys as much as possible, mainly through television or ESPN.

There are two types of players: those who know and those who don’t. The smartest ones usually play the longest and [are] usually the most successful.
