Joseph reached a max speed of 18.2 miles per hour on the touchdown run, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

"I'm not slow," Joseph said. "I know I might be big, but I'm really not slow. Even when I ran the 400 and 200 (meter relay in high school), I didn't get first, but I didn't get last. I always made points for our team. I like running. Running is fun."
