chance difference good late possibly ready round second showcase throw work
I think I'm ready to run, ready to work out. You have nothing to hide. This is my chance to showcase what I can do. This is probably the difference between going in the second round and possibly going late first. Everybody's on an even (playing field); if I can throw out some good workouts, who knows? I could go in the late first.
body definitely hard obviously people run work
It is tough. You're up 'til 11, you're up at 6, and that's definitely hard on your body. But I wanted to work out. Obviously I wanted to run faster, but people know I can run fast. I have no regrets.
ahead backs choice competition everybody good guy looking respect running understand work
It's always good just for competition, but there's a lot of good running backs that are here and are going to work out, and I know everybody is looking at the guy ahead of him to see what he does and that's going to be no different for me. I understand that he's not working out, but that's his choice and I respect that.
time
It was time for me to make that jump.
broke caught defense fast florida fourth outside ran somebody third yard zone
It was the third or fourth play of the game. We ran a zone play up the middle. I broke outside and somebody caught me at about the 9 yard line. Florida State's defense is fast - they can all run.
focus good lost
They are a good team, but we couldn't make the big plays. We lost focus and we couldn't produce.
coach deserved gave good nobody
We wanted to have coach Alvarez end on a good note. Nobody gave us a chance. We deserved to be here and we won.
good match understand
It'd be good to match up with him. But I understand it, and that's how it is.
guys michigan
I'm still kind of new to the program. I don't really know too much about the rivalry. I know a lot of guys really don't like Michigan at all.
carry definitely full load motivation running sure thinks throughout
I'm sure Barnett probably still thinks I'm not a running back. But that's definitely my motivation throughout the season, that I can carry a full load and be durable.
against anybody ball gave knew move nobody surprised
I don't think it surprised anybody on our team. Nobody gave us a chance. But we knew they were a little undersized and we could move the ball against them.
running split time
Obviously, I'm a running back and I wanted to play running back and they had different plans, which is fine. It was just time to split ways.
chance expected fortunate obviously run
Obviously I had to do better than I did at the combine. I think I did what I expected all along. I'm just fortunate I had another chance to run it here.
feels felt foot glad obviously performed productive rides today ton
Obviously a lot rides on today and I think I performed the way I should have performed, I'm glad it's over now. I felt a ton better. My foot feels fine. And I think today was a pretty productive day.
