Winning the Super Bowl would be way more special than the rookie rushing record. ”

What's a priority is going out there and winning ballgames every week. ”

I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season. ”

When you let those defensive backs know that you're a physical player, they don't really want to tackle. That's it. That's why you see me get a hurdle every game. Those guys don't want to tackle me when I get to the second level. ”

I understand what's expected of me. I understand the lineage for the running back position of the Dallas Cowboys. ”

To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field. ”

I'm a versatile guy. I'm a third-down back. ”

That's something I kind of started Week 1, so when it got to where I'm getting a little beat up, I have a routine already for getting my body back together. Just getting in the cold tank, making sure you're getting massages. ”

It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that's been however old it is. ”

I've given it all from my combine to my pro day to my meetings with teams. ”
