Eric Dickerson Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1
I’d love to be in the Hall of Fame one day and win Super Bowl rings, or even one - and stay healthy Picture Quote #1
Football isn’t who we are, it doesn’t necessarily define us. It’s part of our life and it always will be, but football won’t define us. Excellence does Picture Quote #1
When you look at guys who get recruited, most of the best athletes, they come from poor families. I don’t forget. I was a junior looking through my mother’s stuff and looked at her bank statement, and we had $30 in the bank Picture Quote #1
I’ll tell you one thing about me: I’m very private. I always have been private. People think I’m callous, arrogant. I didn’t like the media attention Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1

I was raised by my great-great aunt. I was adopted within our family. My mother had me when she was, I think, 15, 16. They tried to get her to have an abortion and she refused. So, my ‘mama’ adopted me, which was really her great aunt, which was really my great-great aunt, who was named Viola Dickerson. I was told that my mother was my sister Picture Quote #1
I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half Picture Quote #1
I don’t give players a chance to hit me Picture Quote #1
I believe if I stay tall and run up high, I can see better Picture Quote #1
Most of the hits I take come on top of the shoulder pads Picture Quote #1

I think I’m proudest of making my parents proud Picture Quote #1
When I loved it, I loved it. It was nothing better Picture Quote #1
I hated the goggles, don’t get me wrong, but I felt naked without them. Almost like playing without a helmet Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
She told me I wasn’t playing for the coach, I was playing for myself Picture Quote #1

I’m just not the outgoing bubble of energy. But if I know you, it’s different. Practical jokes. Have fun. I’m not looking for any new friends. I got my friends Picture Quote #1
Football isn’t who we are, it doesn’t necessarily define us. It’s part of our life and it always will be, but football won’t define us. Excellence does Picture Quote #1
I love the sport but it’s definitely taken a toll on me. The first two years after I retired I was in pain and couldn’t even sit in a chair for 2 years. 2 years! You want a sport that takes care of you the way you take care of the sport Picture Quote #1
When they have their hands on their knees, that’s when they’re tired Picture Quote #1

I don’t love football the way I once loved the game. I don’t look at it as fun anymore, and it definitely used to be fun. A lot of the fun has been taken away from it, I guess, because you go through so much on the field and off the field Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
Anything will worry me. I may not get a check for the light bill off in time and I just get to worrying. I’m a worrywart Picture Quote #1
