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.

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

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.

We never quit.

Just play every play.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

As a young player here in New England, there's a lot of ups and downs.

When you're clicking, you're not making mental mistakes. You're going out there. You're lining up fast.

Your job as a receiver is to get open and catch the ball and block in the run game.

I have fun outside the game.

I don't say I'm necessarily a professional football player. I'm a competitor. That's what was instilled in me as a young boy.

I think everything happens for a reason.

I am definitely a 'denim first' guy.

I just kind of try to go out and focus on what I've got to do to get myself better.

Obviously, my goal No. 1 every year is to play in every game.
