In my last blog entry, I wrote a little about one of my goals for this year, and that’s my goal of becoming a better me.That process has continued through the last few months, and it’s been awesome. It's kind of funny how, when you decide to make changes, you make progress and then you [...]
Throughout the last several years of my NFL career, I've taken the time each offseason to take a trip to a different spot in the world and really immerse myself in the culture.Over the years, I've become a citizen of the world. I've been to so many wonderful places, and seen over 40 countries in [...]
Last month, we launched the Save the Running Back campaign and SaveTheRunningBack.org, and I have to thank those who gave it such a positive reception, and really supported this endeavor of mine. The reaction was so strong that it even surprised me a bit. I was most thrilled with the feedback from my peers. It actually [...]
Now that the Atlanta Falcons and I have parted ways, I want to say thank you to the organization, and the entire city of Atlanta.In terms of what we hoped to accomplish as a team on the field, my time as a Falcon was a disappointment, but I will always be grateful for how the [...]

As a player in the National Football League, I look at it as a privilege to play on Monday night the way we are this evening against the Green Bay Packers.Any game in primetime is special. You want to go out and play really great football. You always want to bring your A-game.But on Monday [...]
It's kind of hard to believe that at 4-6, we're sitting in first place in the NFC South, but that's kind of the way it's been in my career. This NFL journey of mine is always taking me on twists and turns. I've always had to face great odds. I've always had to face an [...]
After six games in this 2014 NFL season, we are not where want to be or where we expected to be as a team.As a whole, we're disappointed in our record. But we are better than a 2-4 squad. That's one thing about this team that is very unique compared to ones that I've been [...]
