After a game, after a week of eating right, eating clean, you feel like that's when you deserve a nice cheat meal and basically hop on anything after the game.

Just follow the rules. Always have a designated driver. Don't be doing anything to make someone mad. And just walk away from the trouble.

If you go out once a week, they can blast on you that you're always out all the time, but I always put work first, and people sometimes don't see the side of going into the weight room, behind-the-scenes-type stuff with football.

I actually played hockey my whole life, all the way up until ninth grade.

It's always good to be out there with your teammates, working with your teammates in individual drills, team drills, just being out there, getting on the same page, just getting into flow with them.

Beer is nasty.

My mom would always travel with us to everything; my dad introduced us to the weight room and showed us how to properly work out.

I did make National Honors Society in high school.

To this day, I still haven't touched one dime of my signing bonus or NFL contract money. I live off my marketing money and haven't blown it on any big-money expensive cars, expensive jewelry, or tattoos and still wear my favorite pair of jeans from high school.

You're grateful to have brothers in the league, and then when it comes down to it, and you have a brother on the same team, that's awesome. It's a lot more support and a lot more intensity we can bring out in each other because we know each other like that.

The fans are nuts. They are wild. They have the Patriots' back no matter what.

A movie can be plain and simple, but if there's a lot of action, I enjoy them.

I'd go at anyone. I took all of my brothers' bull. It made me who I am.

Everyone always helped me out growing up, and everyone now supports me Sunday. So whenever there's a chance to give back, to the community, to the less fortunate kids so they have the opportunity to gain the most potential they can in their life to be success, it's always good to do.

I work hard to get the body right, and then I kind of just go off the map when on vacation.

It's special to be in that elite category of players who've been on the 'Madden' cover.

You have to give it to the Packers. They are a good team. They have a great offense and a great defense.

We go out to practice every single day and we have fun out there, but at the same time, we're getting work done. We're going hard. If it's reps for the scout team, we're giving them good reps. If we're getting reps for the first team as a tight end group as a whole, we try and go out there and put our best out there as a group effort.

Me not working hard? Yeah, right - picture that with a Kodak.

I was running super slow. Chris thought I was done. Then one day at the end of February, I woke up and my body felt good. I was just so happy. I was faster than my brother again. I got all my moves back. I told him, 'Brother, I'm back, and now you're done!'

At one time, I wanted to be a WWE wrestler. I still do. I want to go in the ring once and mess around and jump off the ropes and do a Stone Cold stunt.

I've always been a fan of football, always watched the NFL and it's great to always sit back wherever I can this year. You sit back and enjoy the games, pop a little sports drink - not any pop or soda - lay back, watch the games. It's always cool to see how the games go down and just enjoy them.

Keep doing what you have to do to help the team out.

I feel like when I do some dance moves during the week or at the house, I'm quicker on my feet. I can react quicker just from dancing.

Am I ever going to be able to play football again? What's going on with my career? I was just thinking things like that. You've got tears going down your eyes. You've got your trainers right there and my parents right there. I was just thinking, "Is this it?" I didn't know what a knee injury was. I'd never felt pain like that.

You have no confidence when you come out of surgery because you can't really do anything. You're like, 'Man, am I ever going to heal?'

I've got four brothers, so with them and all our friends we had these sports parties in the basement. We'd play basketball, mini-sticks, baseball in the backyard, football, whatever it was. We were busy 24/7.

My softer side? I mean, I like to snuggle.

My brother's got two degrees. He got one for me.

As time goes on you're getting more knowledge of your playbook and football, and you just pick it up a lot easier. Lining up everywhere is just second nature to me now.

You can't do it all. You get many requests all the time, but I still have to focus on football, still have to live my life a little bit. But there are definitely times during the week when you want to take time out.

The importance of lifting weights is it kind of makes me who I am.

No, my dance moves are always working no matter where I am. Whether at the house or if I'm out, at the facility working out, practicing, you gotta get the dance moves right. They help out with your footwork.

Before I go to bed, I've got to hit my situps and pushups. While I'm watching a TV show, I do pushups. I even watch 'SpongeBob' still, so there we go.

Stay hyped! Get chicks!

Everyone wants to see collisions, so I'm ready to give some.

Being with the family, running downstairs and opening presents, it was always fun with my brothers.

Our dad introduced us to all of it - to the weights, to eating healthy, all that good stuff. He introduced it, got on us every once in a while, and left it up to us if we wanted to do it. And seeing my older brothers do it right in front of me, I wanted to do it because I looked up to them.

Growing up as a kid, I watched Jeremy Shockey... Tony Gonzalez... Antonio Gates. I looked up to them. I watched what they did to be successful.

Whatever plays are called, I'm just going out there and doing my job.

Whatever's asked of me, I'm just going to go out there and perform my routes and how I've been coached all week, perform in the running game, pass blocking, run blocking, whatever it is.

No matter what the circumstances are, I've never seen Tom Brady come out and not give it all in practice. There's never any change in him. Whenever he's out on the field, he's giving it all, and he's just such a competitor.

I don't feel like anybody can be in top-notch football shape when you first get out there, and that's what training camp is for, and that's why it's a long process.

I feel like, at any given time, if I'm not playing my best football, if I'm not taking coaching points, if I'm not doing things right out there on the field, I feel I can be covered by anyone.

I never drink wine. There's only one wine I like, but I forget what it's called. It tastes like Sprite.

Math was my favorite subject, and English was my worst.

Pregame, you definitely want to carb up.

It's football. You're going to get laid out eventually.

I've seen a lot of athletic juggernauts throughout high school, college, even the NFL who can't play the game.

You have to just have football knowledge. Without football knowledge, it doesn't matter how much skill you have.
