High school, going into my junior year, I kind of had the idea I was going to be the starting running back. I was a little smaller, so I decided to gain weight and try to get faster. I wasn't a fan of the weight room. I thought just the God-given talent would take you where you needed to go. Now I understand that you need hard work.

A lot of people think a running back is just a guy who lowers his shoulder and runs people over, and that's not my game.

I want to be known as a guy who breaks tackles; that's the whole objective of the game.
