I don't want to be that guy that thinks he is a high draft pick and that he has it all.

If the run game's not working, you'll most likely succeed in the pass game, and even if there's a game where the run game and the pass game's not working, you've got to find a way to continue to win. You can't get too caught up in one play. You can't get too caught up one quarter or one drive.

I have this mindset and mentality every time I touch the score, and I really truly believe that. It's something I try to do a little too much.

I think the face of the franchise is kind of how you take it. I know that's been said about me, and that's been said about me at Penn State. But, I think it's kind of how you view it. I really never viewed myself as that. If that comes along with the things that I'm doing, then so be it.

Nothing is given to you. Everything is earned. You have to have that mindset that you have to work every single day. Learn every single day.

I'm not naive. It's football. You're going to make mistakes.

I know a lot of people try and set expectations for me. No offense to you guys, but I set my own expectations.

I want to be one of the best.

Curtis Martin is as humble as heck. He's one of the greatest running backs to ever play - over 14,000 career rushing yards - and a lot of people don't speak about that.

I'm a student of the game, and any time you take more reps in a game, it's going to prepare you more.

I want to be great.

Every part of my game has room to improve, and that's a challenge that I'm willing to accept. That's a challenge I will continue to get better at.

I feel like I've matured in that area too, taking what the defense gives you, not trying to make too much. If it's two, just stick your head in there, and drive to get the two.

I'm honored to be compared to some great running backs, but I try to block that out and be myself.

Try to be one of the first people in here, work your butt off in the weight room, asking questions, try to prepare yourself like a pro, like a vet. Stuff like that is what sits well with your team.

The spotlight, attention, all that doesn't really matter. You go home to your daughter, even after a loss when you're upset and you don't want to talk to anybody. You see her crack that smile, and it changes your day.

In my mind, every time I touch the ball, I believe I have the ability to score with the help of my teammates.

I definitely respect Kamara's game. He's a different type of player. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. He can run in between the tackles. Pretty much a do-it-all back.

The more success you have, the more attention and the more spotlight comes to your name.
