Jason McCourty

“I'm nervous before every game.”

“We all want to do something special on the field. But at the same time, we have a responsibility to get to know each other and build on things that we can do in the community.”

“Being able to watch my brother's success, it's been really cool.”

“Corner is probably different from safeties and linebackers, but I think the important part is coming out each and every day competing, not only trying to get yourself better but also for us on defense pushing the offense as much as we possibly can so we can just improve totally as a team.”

“People often speak about legacy. And when they mention our legacy, I sure hope they don't only mention football.”

“We have to take advantage of the platform we have while we have it.”

“Good players should be signed and in our league.”

“For every negative comment you see on social media based upon standing up for something, there's somebody from back home that's telling me, 'Hey, I'm proud of you, man. Continue to do what you're doing.' Of course, you don't do it for that, but sometimes it's tough, man.”

“I'll never tell you I'm able to come to grips with 0-and-16.”

“As I prepared for the 2009 draft, I vividly remember meeting with a prospective agent that told me if I put in the work, I could be a good special teams player in the league for a little bit. On one hand, thanks for the honesty, I guess. But I thought I might be capable of more.”

“I mean, I think from the competitive side, especially as a defensive back, you don't mind that pressure, going out there on fourth-and-15 or whatever the down and distance.”

“Everyone always says, 'Oh Jason helped Devin so much.' I think they say that so I don't feel bad he was a first-round pick.”

“There's always something that's motivating you. There's doubt about something that's going on with you. Maybe it's not individually, maybe it's your position group, maybe it's your side of the ball. There's just always something that's going to push you.”

“I want to be a part of something where I felt like I am wanted and where I feel like I'm part of a family.”

“I think that's each and every week, you're always gonna start with the basics, the fundamentals. One, stop the run. I think beyond that once you start there you're always looking out what their personnel is, in which ways can they beat you and then you have to adapt and adjust during the course of the game.”

“Devin's a drama queen.”

“Understand who you are and what you're passionate about, and move in that direction.”

“I'm very comfortable playing off-technique, playing press technique. I've just had to do it in so many different systems and switch up.”

“When I first came into the league, I was in Tennessee and I had guys like Courtland Finnegan, Chris Hope, Michael Griffin - a ton of guys that were willing to pour into me and help me figure out how to be a pro, whether it was the defense, whether it was life off the field.”

“I got drafted by the Titans in the sixth round. So I got drafted, but not by much. There's nothing guaranteed for a sixth-round draft pick.”
