I coached Derrick Thomas for the first three years of his career. He was a special player.
If somebody was to ask me who is the best rookie, I would tell them I was.
Everybody would love to be able to be great and make it to the NBA All-Star Game as a rookie. I mean, that is everybody's goal.
I have every goal you could possibly dream of - Rookie of the Year, NBA champion, MVP.
It's an honor to be named Rookie of the Year by the media.
Chris Pittaro is the best rookie I've had in 15 years.
It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that's been however old it is.
Being traded a couple times - and I've been traded after winning Rookie of the Year - is out of your control.
I can say Rookie of the Year is what I want to do.
I'd like to win Rookie of the Year.
I'm a big fan of Marcus Smart.
Personally, I want to win rookie of the year.
It would have been harder for me to get rookie of the year in Cleveland than it would've been in Minnesota.
I want to be on the All-Defensive team, be rookie of the year, make the All-Star team, all that type of stuff.
