Shaun Alexander Running Quotations

To be the highest-paid running back ever is quite an honor.

Without bragging, I've been blessed to have five of the greatest statistical years for a running back.

I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.

My mom told me a long time ago that running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. It just comes with the position.

My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad.

The more film I watch, the more I understand that we have to do some great things to run the ball. They stop a lot of plays. And not only that, they push running backs out of holes that they are supposed to be running into, and a lot of times they don't get credit for that. They are amazing players.

This contract is truly a blessing. To be the highest running back ever is quite an honor. It's pretty good.

The holes open, the holes close and we take advantage when we can get them. I think the running game was OK.
