When I'm done, whenever I feel like I'm done, I'm going to come back and retire as a Niner.
My neighborhood, Coconut Grove, we always played in the streets. It was corner against corner. We all had football teams. Different neighborhoods.
My mom, how she raised me, my brothers, my cousins, when I was a kid with one bedroom for 12 people... You think about all that, and God blessed me to get somewhere and do something I love and do something I've done since I was a kid. And blessed me with the talent to do it.
If I feel like I can't play ball anymore, I'll stop that day. I'm not a fool. I respect the game too much.
My son going to college is a big milestone.
My coaches respect me - the way I come to work, practice and play.
Before I got injured, football was very easy, I didn't have to work out.
As long as I'm healthy and feeling good, I will compete with anybody.
I train with young guys in the offseason just to be honest and keep myself sure, to let myself know if I'm ready or will I be ready.
I want to show guys that when they get up in age, if you love the game and you go out and work hard, it shouldn't matter what age you are.
To be able to be mentioned with guys like Emmitt, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin and my man LaDainian Tomlinson, it's a blessing.
I try my best when I get an opportunity and my number gets called.
I don't put nothing past no man who ever played the game of football.
I'm not scared of any man.
I know that every team likes a guy who's going to try their best and work very hard.
How I pick running backs, I always go off what situation they're in. I look at guys and what they had around them.
Once I got into the league, I liked to watch LaDainian Tomlinson. He was nice, man. Quick, strong, great eyes, able to catch the ball.
I've been blessed to play 15 years.
When you hear coaches say your son is good, sometimes you think they are just saying it because it's you.
I take it one game at a time, one year at a time.
