"Without a doubt in my mind, I should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. You look at my stats without my USFL stats, and I don't know how you can argue with that. Look at my combined yards. I'm not one to make excuses, so I'll play by their rules and not even count the USFL stats."
"I never get tired of running. The ball ain't that heavy."
"Strive to be the very best you can be. Run the race against yourself and not the guy in the other lane. The reason I say that is, as long as you give it 110% you are going to succeed.

"If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat."
"If you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It's simple, but it's true, and your age is just an excuse."
