Early Football Memory: "My first touchdown I spiked the ball and they almost took it away from me, and I did -- I'm from Texas and I loved the Cowboys -- and I did the dance like this, where I put my finger and just shook my legs. I don't know what it's called. (The Drew Pearson?) Drew Pearson, yeah, yeah [smiles]."

Funny Football Memory: "Oh. My rookie year. They told me I was going -- after I broke the record my rookie year (started final 10 games as a replacement for injured Edgerrin James and totaled 1,104 rushing yards -- the most ever by an undrafted rookie free agent in NFL history.), they were going to give me a football. That's what Peyton and them told me. And it was all a joke. So I went to the sidelines to try and get the football and stuff. And everyone's looking at me like, What's wrong with you [smiles]?"
Favorite Vacation Spot: "I want to go to Brazil."
Favorite Athletes To Watch: "I like watching the good backs like Portis and McGahee. Edge. Just guys that get down hill and run the rock hard. And I like to see the little, quick receiver like Santana Moss -- the ones who break tackles and make moves, I like that type of stuff. (MLB?) I don't really watch baseball, man. (NBA?) Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, quick guys, people that make people look silly out there. People like that. Tracy McGrady. (Boxing?) Aw man, there's so many. I like watching James Toney. He's the one. James Toney. (Why?) He can box. He's a true boxer. He can do everything, he can counter, he can do anything you want him to do out there. He doesn't get hit. He's just nice with it. And he talks trash. And I like that [smiles]."
People Qualities Most Admired: "I mean, just people that are good people. Friendly people who would give somebody the clothes off their back. People like that. Because that's the type of person I am. Somebody who's real. I don't like people who are fake. And one way with one person and one way with another person."
