The history says quarterbacks get paid more than running backs, but I think it depends on the caliber of the player – what you’re getting, not just what the position is.

First and foremost, I’m a running back. That’s how I perceive myself.

This is my calling, this is why I was put on this earth-to make a difference in people’s lives.

I feel like it’s God’s plan for me to play football and make a difference in people’s lives.

The more money you get, the bigger target you become. That’s true. It’s sad but it’s true that you have to be aware of every person that comes to you with the next greatest deal. You just have to look at every single person with a fine lens. That’s the way my life is going to be from here on out.

Taking care of my parents is one of the things that I want to do, just give them some of the things that we never had a chance to have. It’s all about remembering where I came fromt.

My life is parallel to a horse race. They have blinders on to keep them from being distracted in the race and keep them focused on winning the race. That’s kind of like my life. Focus on the goal, not the things coming at me from the side.

We're in state of shock. It's tough, but at the same time we have nothing to hang our heads about.

I?m just a normal guy in general. I know a lot of people might see me as a celebrity, but I?m just a normal guy who likes to do normal things. Hang out with his friends ... go shopping ... play video games.

I like rugby - I watch it from time to time. It's basically football without pads but probably a little bit more dangerous than football. You've got to be a lot tougher in that sport - but I definitely like watching rugby and watching those guys knock each other around. It looks like a fun sport.
