And as a running back, you have a job to do every single play.
Wide receivers, they can take a play off.
But running backs don't have that because we're either running the ball or we're blocking.
Or we're in the passing routes.
One part of it is really the skill, natural gifts from God.
And the other part is studying and learning.
And I tell other young backs now is let your natural instincts happen, right?
But being a student of the game, learning like, okay, every defense has a weak point.
Your job is really like to find that.
It's unfair.
It's unfair because you're telling me that you'd be a great difference maker as a running back.
And because I don't play quarterback,
I can't get paid the right value for my position.
You're telling me that because I don't play quarterback, I got to play elite level every year to get elite money.
But the quarterback can play above average for years and one year be pretty good.
And now you're about to get elite money.
Think about that.

Can you imagine the world where a quarterback leads the league in passing yards and he don't get offered a contract?
