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.

The draft is an exciting time.

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

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

I like to leisurely cruise around town on a longboard.

Boston is really just a cool place to play.

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

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

I got beat up my whole life.

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.

Dating isn't easy.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I like running that football.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
