“When I was in Buffalo, Fred Jackson was you know, I would say he was a big mentor of mine and when I was in Miami, I probably picked apart Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, those guys.”

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

“Any time you see your quarterback hurt, your heart drops for a second.”

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

“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.”

“What we can do is control what we can control.”

“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.”

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

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

“I can control my effort, how hard I work and taking advantage of the opportunities.”

“I think the mental aspect of the game is huge.”

“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.”

“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 think I do a pretty good job of not letting things distract me from what I want to do and what I want to accomplish as a football player.”

“The air in Foxborough is just a little different. Like, Special things happen here. Winning happens here.”

“It's been a long road. I've been cut, I've been all over the place, but my mentality has never changed.”

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

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

“Professional lacrosse isn't very lucrative.”
