- When I'm carrying the ball, there isn't any play going through my mind. When I come to a tackler I don't think, "Now fake one way and cut the other." My feet just go. I don't think about it at all. I just do it, and I don't really know how. Where my feet go, I go.
- Just give me 18 inches of daylight. That's all I need.
