Mack Strong is the difference between us and the Philadelphia Eagles. We can get behind him and run all day.
We don't care if we're overlooked or not overlooked, if we're picked to win or not picked to win. When you get to the playoffs, it's just about playing the game, looking at it for what it is, and trying to be ahead when the clock runs out.
This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.
The more film I watch, the more I understand that we have to do some great things to run the ball. They stop a lot of plays. And not only that, they push running backs out of holes that they are supposed to be running into, and a lot of times they don't get credit for that. They are amazing players.
Jerome is in a class of his own. He's much bigger than anybody else, and for him to have that speed and to be able to sidestep people, and then run through people, that puts him in a different class.
My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad.
My mom told me a long time ago that running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. It just comes with the position.
I let Mack (Strong) beat up on people, and I run behind him. That's going to work. It doesn't matter what other teams do, it's always going to work.
I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.
To be the highest-paid running back ever is quite an honor.
Without bragging, I've been blessed to have five of the greatest statistical years for a running back.
The holes open, the holes close and we take advantage when we can get them. I think the running game was OK.
We were really enjoying the laughs. All that is part of this experience.
We missed some opportunities, but at the same time you have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.
