Remember that. I ran from the line of scrimmage.

I ran back punt returns and kickoff returns, and I played a pretty good game.

This is not a football film. It's about two individuals - two good friends telling their story.

My knee was torn up. I tore every ligament in my knee. It was a very, very bad injury. I had to do what the doctors told me to do, and I did that. The next year, I came back and led the league in rushing.

I learned more of how to appreciate what I had then - my family, my kids, the talent that God gives you - because He can take it away at any time. He took it away from Brian through death. He took it away from me through my knees.

We had no preconceived ideas. We were on this football team to go out and win ballgames and try to win a championship, that's all. To Brian and me, it was no big deal.

When I had my injury, I had gotten hit, and it hurt like hell.

People think I played 10 years. I only played 68 games.

You have to prepare to quit, and this is what I did. I prepared to quit, so on the day that came when I had to walk away from the game, I walked away and didn't look back.

Halas didn't believe in starting rookies.
