I could've easily gone the other way, but luckily, I had football and the dream to play in the NFL so I could do something positive with my life. ”

I'm from Miami, you know, when you're a child, you always want to play in front of your hometown. ”

My first year playing Pop Warner football, my mom had to change my birth certificate because I was too young. I was 5, I think, and you were supposed to be 6. ”

If I can go compete with the young guys during training in the offseason, I should be fine during football. ”

When it's time to play, I'm going to come play. I'm going to play the right way. I'm going to try to help my team in all directions, blocking and catching. If I don't have the ball in my hand, I'm going to protect, block down the field. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win. ”

Every time I got opportunities, I did something with it. ”

I take it one game at a time, one year at a time. ”

I don't care what age I am. If I continue to train and feel good and enjoy the locker room and this organization wants me and I feel I can do it, I'm going to do it, no matter what my age. ”

I want to show guys that when they get up in age, if you love the game and you go out and work hard, it shouldn't matter what age you are. ”

My first time playing running back in a real game, I had eight touchdowns. ”
