The former NFL back made some pretty silly comments about Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler.
It didn't take long for the Washington Commanders and running back Austin Ekeler to agree to terms once the open negotiating period began ahead of the 2024 NFL league year.

Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsThat quote is part of a conversation where Ekeler openly stated he knows he's not the type of back to carry the ball 300 times in a single season.
He also made other claims like, "Dude, you couldn't get me off the field," and followed up by complaining about players getting maintenance weeks before finally calling today's NFL game, "soft." It also led to his only three Pro Bowl seasons and his lone First-Team All-Pro selection, something Barber credits Coughlin for - while blaming his tough-nosed and hard-working approach to forcing his retirement.
