I always feel like there's something I have to prove.

The way I see it is, each man has to be accountable for himself. But to sit here and blame everything on him, from an outside perspective, that's wrong. Because it's never one man out there. It's an 11-man game.

The way I see it is, each man has to be accountable for himself.

If it's always looking like that, that's a good thing. It means I'm doing my job and getting it out there. If we're one block away [from a touchdown] or I'm making one guy miss away, then it's right there. It's only Week 4 and I'm learning as we go.

The season is not over. This is Week 17 and we want to finish strong. I can rest later. They pay me to play.

I'm feeling a lot of love right now. But I'm sorry. I've got a muzzle on me. I'm a rookie.

Once I caught the ball, all I was thinking was read the blocks, hold on to the ball and get up the field. The other 10 guys had the hard jobs. They had to block the Steelers. All I've got to do is run.

Willie's like a big brother to me. I came to him and I said I really wanted to be his understudy, learn the ins and outs of not just the game, but life outside the game, handling yourself off the field, handling your finances and then just handling yourself as a person and he's doing a great job of teaching me.
