Chiefs | Jamaal Charles hopes to return stronger

Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee) said he has spent the past eight months vowing to get stronger and better, and he hopes never to miss significant time again in his career. "It made me stronger," Charles said of his anterior cruciate ligament injury. "It made me the person that I am today, I can't wait and I know how to take care of my body, how to eat right and do the right things and it's made me not want to wait to touch that field again. When I touch that field going out there, you're going to feel my pain; you're going to go through what I went through. That right there is going to be there for the rest of my career because I don't want to be out a whole year ever again. That point, at my stage, I'm 25 years old, I'm at the point in my life that I've got to win games ... That had me thinking a lot and made me a better player."
