Cam knew that he needed to get me the ball a little more coming out of the backfield,
He's someone we need on the team, but business is business.
I don't know if there's a tougher place to play.
But nobody really recruited me: TCU, Baylor, North Texas, UTEP ... teams like that. I went on a visit to Kansas State but they didn't offer me. A&M was waiting on another running back and didn't offer me. I was overlooked.
The only thing is to keep winning. That alone, we did all we can do. Yeah, we're depending on other teams, but hey, we've got to keep winning, starting with this week, which is going to be tough.
When you get down by the goal line, ... you've got to have a different mind-set. ... 'No matter what, I won't let them stop me.'
With David here, we think we can be a new version of the Triplets. I'm glad to have him.
If that run was an indication, I would say probably not.
I always take pride in throwing touchdowns because that's not something a running back is supposed to be able to do.
I always take pride in throwing a touchdown because as a running back it's not something you're supposed to do. So I really enjoy throwing the football.
We needed a victory bad, ... We needed to get back to even so we could feel good about ourselves and the direction we were going. It just happened to be the Super Bowl champs and their 21-game home winning streak on the line.
My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ.
I think at the end of the day, even though I didn't win a Super Bowl ring, I felt like I backed them up for drafting me. I backed up the San Diego Chargers for picking me with the fifth pick.
I don't think Christ becomes real to us until we hit a low point in our lives and realize just how much we need Him. That's why faith affects every area of your life.
