One of the things that meant the most to me as a football player was trying to live up to the greats who came before me. For that reason, being one of the six running backs in NFL history who've rushed for 1,000 yards in eight straight seasons or more is one of the accomplishments I'm proudest of. Join me over the next several weeks as I celebrate the legends who paved the way. #8x1K

As we wind through the NFL offseason on a collision course with the Draft, it got me thinking about those moments when young players announced themselves to the NFL. A new series was born. I'm calling it The Breakout. First up: Before he became @KingHenry_2, Derrick Henry was stuck in a timeshare for his first few years in Nashville. That all changed on December 6, 2018, with a house call for 99 yards which opened all of our eyes to what this big back was truly capable of.

Here’s something you might not know about me: I love a great glass of wine! In the interest of continuing to celebrate Black culture all year round, I’m highlighting three Black-owned enterprises in California where you can experience some of the best 🍷the region has to offer! #Cheers @brownestate #BlackFoodandWineExperience #CasaLoce

In keeping with the theme of celebrating Black culture this #BlackHistoryMonth, here are three more places I’d recommend putting on your list if you’re planning a trip later this year! @SalamanderVA @NopsiHotel @UrbanCowboybnb

You all know I love to travel. Before #BlackHistoryMonth comes to an end I wanted to feature some places I think everyone should visit to learn about Black heritage and celebrate Black culture. If you’re on the East Coast, here are a few can’t miss spots!

Life has a way of coming full circle. A way of saying “you’re getting old” without saying it. On Sunday I watched a young woman sing her heart out and Lift Her Voice at the Super Bowl, and marveled at her talent. What I didn’t know — or hadn’t realized until today — was that same young lady had come through St. Louis, her father a Ram, and blessed us with her talent before a game years ago. Pretty dope to have witnessed both. Congratulations @TheRealCocoJ!

One of this week’s conference championship games might just come down to a kick…. For the Legends Season 6 finale, I wanted to highlight one of the greatest ever to do it, a man as consistent as he was clutch, who at age 38 in his 18th NFL season, drilled the kick that sent the @AtlantaFalcons to a Super Bowl…and kept playing for nearly another decade. Morten Andersen was a star in three decades and kicked his way to the @ProFootballHOF. Salute to you @GreatDane2544!

This week’s episode of Legends highlights a true one of one talent who captivated us all. With his uncanny ability to make video game moves 🎮 a reality for a moment or two, one can only image what @DHall82XFactor might be able to do in a current @NFL offense, or even on a dynamic kickoff return.

Believe it or not, I had Bernie Kosar on the Legends list long before news broke of his successful liver transplant last month. So glad he is in recovery and I’m thrilled to have the privilege to tell his wonderful career story in this week’s Legends. Bernie’s is the type of story that makes you want to be close to the ones you love this holiday season. Wishing you continued health @berniekosarQB!

This week on Legends, it’s my pleasure to highlight a contemporary, one of the toughest guys I ever played against, one of the most clutch playoff performers of his era and a deserving Walter Payton Man of the Year honoree. Salute to you, @anquanboldin!

Legends is back this week with one of my favorite stories. You may have heard the name Christian Okoye. Perhaps you ran over defenses with him in Tecmo Bowl. Maybe you saw @ChristianOkoye play or noticed the eye-popping stats he put up in a brief but memorable #NFL career. But do you know the story of how a Nigerian Olympic hopeful became the NFL's Nigerian Nightmare? Check it out in this week's episode!

Legends Season 6 is hitting its stride and while there is much more to come, there’s never been a better time to catch up! We’ve told the story of one an all time great receiver in @AllHands81, a lockdown defender @OfficialTyLaw , a revolutionary tight end Brent Jones and a quarterback with the gift of escapability @snakestakes. Give these stories a watch this weekend! No promo code needed!

This week’s Legends highlights a fearless quarterback whose ability to escape the pocket and extend plays earned him one of the best nicknames in football, Jake the Snake Plummer. From Arizona to Denver @snakestakes gave us some incredible moments in college football, and the NFL, and his story merits another look.

This week on Legends, it’s the story of your favorite tight end’s favorite tight end. Before amazing players like Tony Gonzalez and Rob Gronkowski helped completely change how the position was viewed, the pioneers of the West Coast Offense, the @49ers had a tight end who started to re-define the role. His name was Brent Jones, and his toughness, dependability and versatility kept the Niners dynasty rolling into the 90s.

The @Patriots built something special in the 2000s. A lot of credit goes to the names you know. Coach Belichick. Tom Brady. But let’s not forget about that defense and the ball-hawking corner who helped anchor it. This week’s episode of Legends dives into the greatness of @OfficialTyLaw, one of the best cornerbacks the game has ever seen.

Legends Season 6 begins in earnest with an episode I know @RamsNFL fans have been waiting for! This week the spotlight shines on Torry Holt, a man I consider one of my big brothers in the league, an incredible teammate who showed me the ropes and gave me grace as a young player in St. Louis. @AllHands81 also happens to be one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game and he deserves a @ProFootballHOF gold jacket as much as anyone. Whether you followed his career or you’re new to the game, you’re going to want to see this episode as I look back on the career of a Rams Legend!

We wrap up the Legends Remix portion of our season with yet another SoCal RB. Marcus Allen first forced his way on the field for @uscfb as a fullback, only to become one of the most dominant college tailbacks of his generation. And that's just the beginning. With the @Raiders: Rookie of the Year. Super Bowl Champion. Hall of Famer @ProFootballHOF. His story merits a second look.

The defense of the @dallascowboys in the 1990s had it all. A player who could rush the passer. A player who tackled anyone who got to the second level. A player who shut it down in the secondary. And that was all just one man. His name is Darren Woodson, and his story deserves a second look, because while he keeps knocking on Canton’s door, it’s well past time that @darrenwoodson28 gets The Call from The Hall.

Legend behind the lens. 📸 @sj39 🤝 #RamsHouse

Only one man in NFL history has done it. 200 career sacks. It took longevity. It required an unbelievable commitment by the mind and body. But most of all, it was a relentless determination to be the very best. Bruce Smith’s story deserves a second look. Let’s appreciate the sack-master at work!

The 1985 @AuburnTigers campaign put together by @BoJackson, on the diamond and the gridiron, was iconic. It’s also something we’ll never see again in college sports.
