Eric Dickerson Running Quotations

I believe if I stay tall and run up high, I can see better.

I run upright mostly when I see daylight, so if you watch film you'll see I don't get hit in the chest much.

Running is so natural to me. When I was running track, people used to ask me, "When are you gonna start running hard?" The wind hits me in the face, and I feel so smooth - Man, I love to run!

Playing the running back position, your legs, that's your living, that's how you make your living. You have to have great thighs, knees, everything.

In the NFL, you have a short shelf life. As a running back, if you're the first pick, and you're NFL life expectancy is only 3.5-6 years, your first big contract might not come until three years in - well, you might never get there. They need to get those signing bonuses up front because nothing is guaranteed.

I heard that all the time. ‘He makes it look too easy, he doesn’t run hard.’ It was always a slight on me.
