In the NFL, everyone's attacking, so you have to be quicker in your decisions.
I knew I had to go out and perform. I had a lot of fans watching!
I would love to spend my whole career in Scan Diego because I accept the challenge of turning this team around.
I'm an old-school guy.
I think the Patriots actually live by the saying, 'If you're not cheating, you're not trying.'
With my size and speed, my ability to make moves and great vision, I'm sometimes feel like it's an unfair advantage over the defense.
The best all-around [running] back in the league is Jamaal Charles. He has the ability to hit a homerun from anywhere.
God has really blessed me with the ability to put me ahead of the class.
I'm passionate about the game of football.
I take being a role model seriously.
Everything speeds up and it's blurry for a minute. But you've got to have a little patience sometimes to just find a soft spot. There's always a soft spot in the defense, and it's your job to find it.
I think about my family first. I want my family to not want for anything. I would like to make sure they have no worries.
You've got to earn respect as life goes on.
People there’s a new sheriff in town. One of the great running backs in line of Pittsburgh Steelers [and] his name is Le’Veon Bell. He’s on his way people.
