Tavon Austin

“I might not be producing that much with the ball in my hands, but my fakes, my jet sweeps, it's doing numbers, and that's the main thing about it.”

“A lot of people feed off my energy. I have to keep that up. I can't just be loud one day and the next day saying nothing.”

“A lot of teams are looking for that type of player to do multiple things on the field, and I think I'm that guy.”

“One game, you can get 15 touches, and the next game you might not touch the ball.”

“Size doesn't really matter. It's all about the mental aspect of the game and having the heart. I have a lot of heart and I take a lot of pride in what I do. That's what got me over the hump.”

“Baltimore is a tough place, but I love every bit of it.”

“Combine speed is overrated. It might give you a good look to see what you can run in a straight line, but football's not played in a straight line.”

“I can definitely see myself coaching, I'm not sure what level, but I do love teaching and giving back what I've learned on this journey of mine. Yeah, Coach Tay does have a nice ring to it.”

“I'm going to keep on going, day in and day out, be the same Tavon Austin.”

“I grew up as a Ravens fan, and I liked the Patriots, too.”

“If I'm in the rotation, I'm in the rotation. If I'm not, I still will support the guys like I am in the rotation. But when I do get my turn, I definitely will make the best of it.”

“I'm a true running back at heart, to be honest. That's what I played my whole life.”

“Baltimore is definitely still home. It's always going to be home for me.”

“I gave my blood, sweat and tears over here - the St. Louis Rams, then coming to the L.A. Rams.”

“I've always been passionate about giving back, not just anywhere, but to my city specifically. That's extremely important to me.”

“One thing I can say is I'm thankful. It's been a long road for me through my injuries.”

“It's all about patience and I'm sure my time will come. I'm learning what it takes to be successful and I'm doing the things the coaches tell me.”

“If we're losing, I probably won't be talking as much. I'll probably be more talking to my pads.”

“I wanted to go away from home, but not too far from home.”

“At the end of the day, there's only one ball.”
