I used to be more of a bruiser. I wanted to run through people. Now I try to run around them.
I love being a running back. But I really love being a football player.
I don't want to just be the guy to dump the ball off to or the guy who can do the checkdowns.
I always want to find something to get you to play with a chip on your shoulder.
I always try to find something to motivate me to be a better player.
If I have 38 touches and we win the game, that's enough. If I have 38 touches and we lose, then I didn't get enough.
I work out with my trainer; he knows my body to a T. He knows the things that I'm great at, and he knows the things I'm not necessarily great at, and he'll try to help those things.
What I've been doing over the course of my career - everybody's been seeing me be my best self.
Quarterbacks are leaders; it is what it is.
I used to go to Dairy Queen all the time. It always brings back a little bit of memories. As kids, we always used to go get ice cream.
I know, when I'm 30 or 31 years old, I know I'll be productive because I don't depend solely on my athletic ability to get open and get yards. It's more my mind.
I'm not a guy who will budge off how I feel about my work.
I feel like I wanted to run differently than everybody else did. And I want to do things that everybody else hasn't done.
I've made a lot of money, I'm happy where I'm at. I've got a good family - I don't really need to play football.
I don't necessarily care about the money aspect of it. I just want to be valued where I'm at. If I am playing this game, I want to set standards for all the other running backs behind me, like Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott, Melvin Gordon, guys like that.
I've always been a stubborn kid.
When I have my mind set, that's what I'm going to do.
I love the city of Pittsburgh.
In football, when I break the line of scrimmage, I see a player in front of me, a defender, and already in my head I'm thinking, 'I'm going to make him miss.' So I'm already looking at the next defender like, 'OK, how can I set this guy up to get him out of position, too?'
A lot of guys are just as fast, just as strong, or just as big as me. But they're not going to be able to think the way I do on the field.
