“All my family's from Boston.”

“It's a physical game, and it's honestly a fight out there every play.”

“Cancer is a very real thing. it takes a lot of lives every year. It's something we can always pursue and try to find a cure, and try to raise money.”

“I feel like pace is a huge part of being successful through preseason and then on into the season.”

“I believe that, deep down at heart, I'm a football player.”

“The way I operate as a football player and the product that I put on the field in relation to the business that I conduct, I want it to be as tough as possible in practice so when I get into the games I've been there before.”

“Wind, weather, everything comes into play when you're in the kicking game - how far the ball is going to traveling in the air, where it's going to travel with the wind.”

“If you can't hold yourself accountable and get your job done then you're not going to be successful.”

“No question, I love the path I've taken.”

“You can learn from your mistakes but you can't harp on the bad things, the negative things that have happened. But you definitely have to learn from them and get better and improve and progress as a football player.”

“I've never played for my dad. I played against my dad actually in high school. That was fun, but he taught me how to play the game the right way. Respect the game, give it all you've got and regardless of what happens, have no regrets.”

“As much as it hurts to work out after a game, it helps that much more.”

“I believe the NFL is a land of opportunity. As soon as you figure out you can find your little niche, you can find your role on an offense, in my position at receiver, I feel like you can develop an identity and go from there.”

“It's a business. Everybody treats it like a business. You love playing football, you love being around the locker room, and that's really the most important thing for me.”

“When guys talk about going to the league in college, they're thinking about flash and bling. But my first taste of the NFL was a relatively small non-guaranteed contract, a crappy room at an extended stay hotel and a sense of panic every time my phone rang because it might be the cut guy.”
