More quotes by Eric Dickerson
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.
Eric Dickerson
When they have their hands on their knees, that's when they're tired.
Eric Dickerson
I think I'm proudest of making my parents proud.
Eric Dickerson
I'd love to be in the Hall of Fame one day and win Super Bowl rings, or even one - and stay healthy.

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.
Eric Dickerson

Eric Dickerson
I hated the goggles, don’t get me wrong, but I felt naked without them. Almost like playing without a helmet.

It doesn't matter if you want to be in the NFL or do something else. If you want something great, you won't get it sitting around.
Eric Dickerson
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.
Eric Dickerson
When I loved it, I loved it. It was nothing better.
Eric Dickerson
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.
Eric Dickerson
Most of the hits I take come on top of the shoulder pads.
Eric Dickerson
I've stayed buddies with my old buddy Jackie Slater. I talk to Jackie Slater. I play golf with Marcus Allen a lot. I play golf with Marshall Faulk a lot. My buddy Craig Young, he lives up in New Mexico. I still talk to a lot of the guys.
Eric Dickerson
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.
Eric Dickerson
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.
Eric Dickerson
Life isn't about a hand-out. That's not what the NFL is about and that won't get you in the NFL or take care of you once you're out of the NFL. You have to work.
Eric Dickerson
In the NFL they talk about contracts, but it's not really a contract, it's a one year agreement. If you have a 10 year contract, it means nothing. If you get cut in the NFL, you get nothing. People don't talk about that.
Eric Dickerson
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.
