“To have on a Patriots jersey on and score, it was big for me.”

“If I get a chance to make a play on the ball, I take advantage of it.”

“I was a mamma's boy. She had me at 15, so we were close enough in age where we could play basketball against each other. We used to play one-on-one and race in the yard all the time.”

“I think I am capable of doing what any other elite receiver is capable of doing.”

“Like, for real, I'm going to be like Larry Fitzgerald. Maybe even more.”

“We'd get $3.50 a bushel. A bushel is a lot of peas. You know how many peas you have to pick to fill a bushel? We would work from 6 to 2, then I'd have to go home and cut the yard.”

“Half of the time, it's about winning, but as a receiver, you do want to score touchdowns. I do want to score.”

“I'm always going to have my guy's back.”

“I watched some games I played, and there were some where I took a play or two off and missed a couple of blocks. If I have to take a play off, I should get out.”

“I had a lot of drops where I could have made plays.”

“I don't want to be that guy they say that's injury prone.”

“I'm going to do whatever I can to play my best ball.”

“I wake up every morning and thank the lord above and just thank him for... being able to do what I do.”

“I had multiple high school coaches who looked out for me. Multiple college coaches. Deacons. Pastors. Aunties. Uncles. Friends.”

“To come out and win a playoff game, that's just amazing.”

“My thing is yards after catch. I can say it's one the favorite things to do on the football field.”

“If I have single-man coverage, it's something that I definitely enjoy and look forward to.”

“I don't compare myself to guys who had the same quarterback their entire career. Nothing against that - they're blessed with that. But I don't compare my numbers.”

“Records are made to be broken but all I want to do is win the Super Bowl.”

“I'm a hard worker on and off the field.”
