Obviously, teams start wearing down. But that's kind of when you thrive, when the other team starts to get tired. ”

The league is shifting. It's becoming a smaller league, way more speed-dominant. So you're seeing more backs like me who can run between the tackles, pass-protect, catch and become matchup nightmares. You also have more receivers who are getting jet sweeps, doing different things with the ball in their hands. ”

Something I really pride myself on is not just being a running back that can catch the ball but if I move out to the slot, I become a receiver. ”
