I always thought that I could play football at the college level.

Never gave pro lacrosse a thought.

I got a lot of opportunities and I was able to make the best of them.

I support my wife. I want her to have a career. I want her to be happy, to have success at what she does.

I know what I need to do to make myself and make my legs, most importantly, feel good.

During the season, nutrition is so huge.

I can't go out there and just eat turkey sandwiches and hamburgers all day because that's not going to make my body perform at the level that it can.

I'm not sure I'm the prototypical Patriot.

I have grown so much since I started in this league and it's something that I feel that every single year I'm always learning, always growing.

I think everyone's goal at the beginning of the year is to get to this time, to get an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl.

The locker room I don't think is a huge place for guys to really, you know, talk politics.

As a football player, as an athlete, as a competitor - that dream of being able to play in the Super Bowl, you're never going to let that one go.

I know my wife works just as hard as me if not harder to have a career.

Playing all these different sports, you learn so much from the people you get coached by.

I think playing multiple sports is by far the best way to go. You're talking about different teammates, different skill sets, different mentalities.

In baseball I was very singularly focused. If I was pitching it was me versus the hitter.

I've learned so much whether it was, I played a lot of team sports, so being part of a team, learning how to be a leader on different teams, and how to deal with the ebb and flow of different games.

I've done a barre class before. I swear.

When you see your leader not at 100 percent, you just want to play a little harder because of that.

My family is the most important thing in my life.

I think the Patriot Way definitely makes its way into the Hogan household.

I know they don't come very often in this business, so every chance I get to step out on the field, wherever it was, I worked as hard as I could.

It's a lot of fun to be able to share special moments with my kids and wife.

As far as coach Belichick, yeah, he's a huge lacrosse fan. I'm pretty sure I played against his son at Rutgers my sophomore and junior years. There's always that. We have that lacrosse connection.

There's going to be games where you're asked to do things that people aren't always going to see.

Every single year is a year for me to take a look at how I've grown and how I can get better and better myself as a football player as a receiver and just as an overall team player.

When I got the call that the Patriots were interested, it was a very surreal feeling. I've always looked up to watching them play. They've been a team that has a long history of winning. Just to be considered to be a part of this team is a great honor.

My goal was to be a good player in this league. Got my butt up out of bed and got to the gym.

Some days are harder than others, just like anything.

I don't like to take a lot of time off. It's really not in my DNA.

Hard work pays off.

I don't know if people consider me a deep threat, but maybe I'll get there one day.

Whatever my role is, I'm just going to go out there and do it to the best of my ability.

I'm playing in the NFL and getting to compete with these guys every single day, getting to play in the pre-season games. That's a dream come true right there.

You can't do everything on the field.

I just have to make sure that for 60 minutes, I'm going out there and doing my job, running routes the best that I can and trying to get open.

When opportunities come my way, I'm going to try to make the play.

It's tough to put that in perspective, playing in back-to-back-to-back Super Bowls.

Getting cut four separate times really never stopped me.

Just being a dad, trying to balance both - football and being dad - trying to be the best at both. You know, you've got to work at it like anything else. I've been working.

I would say I am one of those guys who teams are looking for a reason to get rid of most of the time.

I just tried to make as many plays as possible to try and show them how hard I work and how hard I prepare and that I am willing to do whatever it takes to win football games and to accept whatever role they want me to be in. I think that has helped me throughout my career.

College lacrosse can be pretty brutal at times, so that definitely helped me with the toughness. It's a fast-paced game, so that helped me kind of translate over to the game speed of playing in the NFL. I think just the one-on-one aspect of trying to beat the guy in front of you definitely helped me as being a receiver.

Playing quarterback is hard enough.

I am excited about the concept of the Premier Lacrosse League. The idea is to bring the best lacrosse players from around the world together and showcase their talent to the fans.

Lacrosse has a special place in my heart after starting my career as a lacrosse player at Penn State.

The quarterback-receiver connection is a constant work in progress. You're always working on your communication on the field, off the field.

No matter what, you're going to have hard days out here. There's going to be a drop here or a tough pass that you didn't come down with there.

I think the mental aspect of the game is huge.
