“I think when you're running through a hole and you're hit in certain, different ways, you have to be able to move and change and make people miss.”
“I just show up every day.”
“At the end of the day, nobody has higher expectations for me than myself. I don't really try to prove anyone wrong anymore as much as I try to prove myself right.”
“If I have the worst season in the world, the best season in the world, whatever. If I'm playing football, I'm happy, and no one can take that away from me.”
“You see how powerful some of the things you say and you do can be on people, especially young people.”
“My position is a running back. So, the first part of my position is running. That means I need to run and be fast.”
“I really try to pride myself on route running, catching and being able to be a mismatch anywhere on the field.”
“I used to have a potbelly pig named Terrance. He died of obesity.”
“I play with a chip on my shoulder always, I feel like people don't always give me credit for my skills and talents and that's just the way it is. I also don't care too much, I don't feel like I'm crazy disrespected. I have a chip on my shoulder at all times.”
“You've got to let the game come to you. You can't press.”
“I stopped worrying about how other people define me a little bit ago. I used to care a lot. Now I just don't care that much. Really, what I'm worried about is, am I being the best me I can be?”
“The faster I can get, the better as well.”
“I'd be happy to play for anybody.”
“To me, speed kills.”
“I train every single day.”
“You can't try to make something crazy happen when nothing is there. You've just got to keep pushing.”
“Wherever they put me I'll do anything a team needs me to do.”
“You can put in all the plays in the world, but if a guy is not executing it's not going to work.”
“Never get comfortable.”
“Sometimes you'll have 30, 40 touches in the game, and you'll feel better than if you had 22. It depends on where you get hit and how you get hit.”
