Depending on how we start the season, I can play center or wing... It doesn't matter to me.
I don't want to get too detailed into it, but when you're a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. If you're a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want.
I've been a versatile player since I started playing football.
I'd play every position when I was in elementary school and junior high. I was playing as guard, too.
It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports.
I could run 200 yards at a stretch, I could duck between players, I felt free to make plays that suited me best. It wasn't like football then and basketball today, where coaches tell you what foot to put down.
I was down in Peru, and I was watching AAA in Spanish on my TV, and it just it blew my mind because they weren't following any of the rules, yet the crowd was still there.
Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game.
You need to be flexible but I feel I can bat at any position depending on the condition.
When I was at UCF, I played a lot of different positions, so I don't feel uncomfortable moving around.
I've always tried to be a complete athlete and not limit myself to one position or one sport. It really helped mold my whole football game.
There is nobody called Test bowler, one day bowler or T20 bowler. It just how you adapt and make a difference to your own game.
I'm a big guard, whether a 1 or 2.
