If you walk through life with ease and without any sense of entanglement, that is maturity.
I can be in the NFL as long as any other back. I went late in the draft because no one thought I could do it.
I have a soft side that I like people to see. I'm not mean. That's just football. That's just the way you've got to go. You can't go into a game that is that violent and be soft. You can't be that way.
It's a big change for a country boy like me, to be in the limelight in New York City. It was most definitely a tough adjustment.
Here I am as a running back, making a pretty good living, actually doing pretty good.
I see more now. As far as concepts, I know where teammates are going, linemen are going. I can read defensive fronts. I can read the body language of linebackers. I study film to see who's a bull rusher and who's a finesse rusher. I think I've learned.
I'm not really trying to break the bank like some other people. I just want what's fair.
Although computers allow people to talk at the speed of light, no one talks that fast.
I think that certain players are going to approach the game differently. I am more of a quiet person. I like to have more of a focused energy and internal energy whereas some people need to be bouncing off the walls to be ready for the game.
No one has ever succeeded in keeping nations at war except by lies.
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
