Temperatures crept into the 90s. It was humid. Edgerrin James had zero business killing himself in this South Florida heat. But the Indianapolis Colts running back also knew the players trying to tackle him come September weren’t training this hard.

Not even close.

So, he kept showing up.

This week, Go Long chatted with the Pro Football Hall of Fame running back who helped change offensive football.

The written transcript is posted at the site.

Right here on the Go Long Podcast, we’ve got the audio.

What an enlightening conversation. Chatting from his gate at an airport, James relives his unique rise from playing older kids in street ball… to “The U” … to Indianapolis. He also offers sharp insight into the running back position today, where it’s heading and Bills running back James Cook. Also: Keep an eye out for “Jizzle James” in the NBA.
