Eric Dickerson

“When you get that ball, you've got to be thinking, 'I'm going to score every time.'”

“I wore the goggles. I wore the neck roll. I had the Jheri curl. I was different.”

“When I'm on the field, I'm trying to hurt somebody.”

“I always felt like I had to prove myself.”

“I don't think I get the credit I deserve. I'm used to it. It is what it is.”

“A lot of people say I'm greedy, but that's just because I want what I'm worth.”

“Football is a violent sport. It's a collision sport. And it's meant to be that way.”

“I never liked to get hit. I just never did.”

“The record is something I'm very proud of. It's something that, you know, when you look back on your career, you can say, 'I did that.'”

“I wanted to be the best. That's all I ever wanted.”

“For a running back, your career is short. You have to get what you can get when you can get it.”

“You can't be a running back and be afraid of contact.”

“My style was different. I was a slasher, a glider.”
