You couldn't have told me after that first play that I wasn't going to have 2,000 yards. If I don't become a home run hitter, I'm going to get the 5s and the 4s and let them pile up. Somehow, someway, we'll be a 1,500-yard rusher.

That first handoff, it was like, whew, the sky's the limit. At the time, you couldn't have told me we weren't looking at 2,000 yards. But things happen. That keeps you humble and keeps you hungry.
