In college, I guess you could say I was a running back that threw.

We ignore noise, and we really just to try hunker down on preparation, our practice, and going out and trying to play our best games on Sundays.

It's always a great thing getting to play in the last game of the year.

Here on the East Coast, I think Shake Shack is awesome.

There's no one more valuable for me to learn from than Tom and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, in a lot of ways. Every time I'm around them, I learn. The way they are with their kids, the way they make time to spend with each other, they are just good people.

I always preach you have to have a short memory, whether it is good or bad.

If it's a trip for pleasure, I always go with a comfortable outfit.

I'm a practice player. The more I practice, the more confident I become.

I think any time you can go out and put pads on and practice before the season, I think it's a good sign. It's a good sign.

It's cool to get to play with guys that you have friendships with.

Just play every play.

We never quit.

Mr. Kraft and his family, they gave me an opportunity to come out and play in the NFL. And just to see the kind of role model Mr. Kraft is in the community, he's always around; he's here every day - darn near - he's very involved, and he's just a good man. Nothing but respect, and it starts at the top.

I love being a Patriot, and we'll leave it at that.

Anytime you get to go out and see the fellas and play with them and talk with them and be in the huddle and look at guys and participate in drills - I mean, that's what you play the game for, ultimately.

Go out and do your drills that you do to try to get better. You lift your weights, try to take things from the classroom to grass, try to get better every day.

It's always nice to be on the practice field because, ultimately, practice is the most important thing other than the game because that's where you gain your confidence; that's where you get your fundamentals.

As a rookie, I had changed positions. In college, I was a quarterback, and I had never played other positions.

It's the NFL, so anytime you get to go out and get to play against another team, there's going to be some physicality.

When you've got a leader that wants to go out and practice at the ultimate, highest level, when something that you should do doesn't go right, there's going to be a little fire under that, and that's what you need from your leader.

There are different types of cornerbacks: you've got your longer guys that will try to get physical with you and use their length, and you've got your quick guys that will try to use their quickness, and then you've got your 'tweener' guys that will try to use both.

As a punt returner in the NFL, I know all about teamwork, high-speeds, and collisions on Sundays.

I like running that football.

I played 51 percent of the snaps outside, though. But you can go ahead and call me a slot as well.

The No. 1 rule you're taught as a receiver: You've just got to watch the ball. You hear about the guy who was lucky. But the guy who was lucky got an opportunity, and he was prepared for it. Sometimes the ball falls your way, and, you know, we'll take it.

It's not fun to watch your team go out, and guys that you've worked so hard with, and the countless hours you've put in on your own time to go and showcase all your hard work, and then have it taken from you and then see your boys playing without you.

I can say playing for the New England Patriots has been the highlight of my life.

When I was growing up, I was a huge San Francisco 49ers fan. The New England Patriots have a similar mold and plan to win a lot of games - reminiscent to that Bill Walsh era.

Dating isn't easy.

When Dad stopped playing in a rock band and was done chasing that dream, he devoted himself to his family. I would love to do the same thing - just without driving a 1991 Suburban and wearing sweatpants, a fanny pack, and six-year-old Pumas.

I got beat up my whole life.

The regular season is awesome. It's fun. But postseason, that intensity and adrenaline you get from it is a lot.

Psychologically, for an athlete to miss a game because of injury, it's tough.

Boston is really just a cool place to play.

I like to leisurely cruise around town on a longboard.

Bill Belichick has been an awesome, awesome guy to learn from.

Sometimes durability's better than ability, especially in this crazy sport.

The draft is an exciting time.

The Patriots do a great job of establishing a common rhetoric of working hard and working for the men that stand next to you on the field.

Peapod is a great company to work with.

I like looking at clothes, and I like going to shows and seeing new, fashion-forward stuff.

Why can't we make NFL apparel cool for every day instead of only wearing it on game day?

Devin McCourty - he's got his own style: he always wears a nice fitted suit and mixes up his colors. He's got some game when it comes to the fashion world.

I'm not completely Jewish, if you know what I mean. I know people want me to be. My father is Jewish. My mother isn't.

I guess you could say I'm kind of Jewish but not really.

My dad was just a little trailer trash white dude that worked his tail off, didn't have a dad. He started working at 14, didn't get to play sports. He dedicated his life to his kids to let us live our dreams.

I love my dad.

Everyone's got talent at the level we're at. But being a smart, tough football player - there's a huge premium for that.

It's one thing to be 100 percent and go out and play football feeling great. It's another thing when you're not feeling good. You're sick, or you got a nagging injury, and you gotta go out in the cold and go across the middle where a guy's coming full speed at you trying to kill you.

Tom Brady is Tom Brady. He was a sixth-round draft pick. A lot of people passed up on him. He's a Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP. He's been in a bunch of Super Bowls, and he could care less about all of that. He just cares about winning the next game.
