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.
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.
This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.
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.
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.
The holes open, the holes close and we take advantage when we can get them. I think the running game was OK.
I think we showed a lot of people about this team.
I think that, come January, we will be one of the offenses that everybody is going to fear. Everybody forgets that Jacksonville and Atlanta have a very good defense. I think we've done well against them.
Kobe scored 81 points. I was asking the guys the other day, 'How do you score that many points in a game?' That's like scoring seven touchdowns.
I saw that team take the growing pains and get to the playoffs, then win the division. I want to be here to see us win three or four Super Bowls. That's my only goal. So for me, I'm like, 'OK. If you guys are handling that side of it, call me when it's really, really ready to get done.' But as of right now, I'm going to try to do everything I can to get this team to the Super Bowl.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
We've got so much to be thankful for. I just want to thank each and everyone of you all for making this the best stadium in the world!
