DL: How did you end up in New Mexico? Were you recruited?
PB: Yeah. They kind of found me, so here I am.
DL: Did you ever think you would end up in New Mexico? How do you like it?
PB: No ma'am. It was hard at first getting used to, but I'm OK.
DL: How often do you get to go home?
PB: Maybe about four or five times a year. The longest I got to go home was for about a month. We get about a month off - that's about it.
DL: Do you plan to head back to Texas?
PB: I don't know. It depends on where the job takes me. I want to go back home for a while, but I don't know where the job will lead me.
DL: What position do you play on the team?
PB: Running back.
DL: For someone who doesn't know a lot about football, how would you describe that?
PB: Do you know who Emmitt Smith is? It's the guy that stands behind the quarterback, usually. And the quarterback hands him the ball, basically.
