Athlete

Ohio means a lot to me. Kinda like a second home, just the memories I have here and the fans I made while at Ohio State with the things that I accomplished at that great university.

I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season.

I take pride in being a jack of all trades.

I think at Ohio State, we're professional athletes in Columbus.

You can't win every game, so I've just got to get back to work and get better next week.

Every play, I'm trying to get as many shots on the opposing team as I can, so when you get to the fourth quarter, they obviously don't want to be on the field anymore.

I'm going to go out there and do what I do and play football, and everything will work out.

Once you make that first mistake, it kind of clears up everything, and everything can come to you.

I think I probably have one of the easiest jobs in America. I get to run behind the best O-line in America.

That's something I kind of started Week 1, so when it got to where I'm getting a little beat up, I have a routine already for getting my body back together. Just getting in the cold tank, making sure you're getting massages.

I think actually it's kind of sad because something I looked forward to just getting to the NFL growing up was just being able to have more fun, the rules loosen up, being able to celebrate.

What's a priority is going out there and winning ballgames every week.

The more you see, the more you're going to learn. Just got to take advantage of the opportunity and get ready to play ball.

If we go out there, and we play well and win football games, all the good stuff will come with it. It's not my job to worry about something I can't control.

I'm a guy that can play three downs. You don't have to take me off the field. I value blocking.

I don't think, as a player, I have a weakness on the field. I've done a great job of becoming good at everything, so I think that's what separates me.

With every rep, you're going to get better.

In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.

Whoever wins MVP, whoever wins whatever those awards are, that's not my decision.

I've given it all from my combine to my pro day to my meetings with teams.
