carry colorado people prove running shocked support sure
I'm sure there's probably a lot of people in Colorado who are shocked by my performance. I didn't have a lot of support out there as a running back and I just wanted to prove that I'm a running back and that I can carry 30 or 40 times a game.
carry definitely full load motivation running sure thinks throughout
I'm sure Barnett probably still thinks I'm not a running back. But that's definitely my motivation throughout the season, that I can carry a full load and be durable.
consistent focus good people run time
People know that I can run. But I want to go out there and run a good time just to show them that I can run (well) on a consistent basis, so that's what my focus has been.
became corner great job line offensive productive running safety
It wasn't just me. The offensive line did a great job today. Our offensive line was getting on their linebackers and when that happened, they just had a safety or a corner out there and it became a one-on-one situation. That's why we were so productive running the ball.
ahead backs choice competition everybody good guy looking respect running understand work
It's always good just for competition, but there's a lot of good running backs that are here and are going to work out, and I know everybody is looking at the guy ahead of him to see what he does and that's going to be no different for me. I understand that he's not working out, but that's his choice and I respect that.
running split time
Obviously, I'm a running back and I wanted to play running back and they had different plans, which is fine. It was just time to split ways.
definitely pancake running
He definitely had a lot of pancake blocks. He's just going to get better and we're going to keep running to his side.
knows run
Everyone knows I'm not slow. I don't run times that slow.
backs felt finished good higher last next obviously running until value
It was pretty back-and-forth. Up until probably the last minute. I just felt like, I don't know if my value could be any higher than this year, the way I finished off, than it could next year. Obviously there are a lot of good running backs in this class, but I feel like I'm just as good as any of them.
body definitely hard obviously people run work
It is tough. You're up 'til 11, you're up at 6, and that's definitely hard on your body. But I wanted to work out. Obviously I wanted to run faster, but people know I can run fast. I have no regrets.
time
It was time for me to make that jump.
perform third worried
I'm not really worried about it, but at the same time, I do have to perform better because there is no third chance. So there will be a little more pressure, but I think I'll be fine.
chance difference good late possibly ready round second showcase throw work
I think I'm ready to run, ready to work out. You have nothing to hide. This is my chance to showcase what I can do. This is probably the difference between going in the second round and possibly going late first. Everybody's on an even (playing field); if I can throw out some good workouts, who knows? I could go in the late first.
focus good lost
They are a good team, but we couldn't make the big plays. We lost focus and we couldn't produce.
