My first time playing running back in a real game, I had eight touchdowns.

When you come from Miami, you're used to winning.

But I look at Anquan Boldin the same. If you watch us, we're similar players. We're not the fastest, we're not the biggest, but we get it done. I think we're just football players.

Some guys go to different teams and as they get older, they just want to ride the coattail of the younger guys. I don't want to do that.

I feel like every year it's something with me. I've got to overcome everything every year.

Coming up, I thought Barry Sanders was the best running back ever.

I've been blessed to play 15 years.

My kids get to see me every day.

I've always strived to prove people wrong.

I just think I respect the game and care for the game so much.

When it's time to play, I'm going to come play. I'm going to play the right way. I'm going to try to help my team in all directions, blocking and catching. If I don't have the ball in my hand, I'm going to protect, block down the field. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.

I want to make sure I'm not the last NFL player to come out of the Grove.

When you think about retiring, you're done. You already checked out.

My first goal was to play in the NFL.

If I can go compete with the young guys during training in the offseason, I should be fine during football.

When something you love gets taken away, it hurts you.

I have young guys come up to me after games and say they want to train with me and they don't know how I do it. It's God, it's training and it's love for the game.

Nowadays, kids need promises to play. And I'm not gonna lie, I almost went to Mississippi. But that's the best thing I did, when I changed my mind and went to Miami.

As long as I stay consistent as my career goes, I'm good with it.

When you're a free agent you want to be wanted.
