In this NFL season New York Giants running back and Nike athletics player Saquon Barkley got his own variant of the Air Trainer 3. What did it feel like watch him pay homage to you through the sneakers?
I gave him those shoes. It was as if I said, 'Grasshopper, it's your time now to carry this torch. It's your responsibility to keep it up.' I know that Saquon will perform a superb job of that. Saquon is a very good child. He reminds me of a large amount of me. He's fast and strong, and keeps his head in the right direction. This is the thing that impresses me most. It's not the stats. I love how the man carries himself.
The only constant will remain Bo Jackson. But when you consider your memories of the NFL running backs that have come after you, which of them bring you back to your own?
