"I'm not naive. It's football. You're going to make mistakes." — Saquon Barkley

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 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.
