“When I was growing up, I was a huge San Francisco 49ers fan. The New England Patriots have a similar mold and plan to win a lot of games - reminiscent to that Bill Walsh era.”

“It's nice not having to do that kind of stuff, getting surgeries and all that. It gives you an opportunity to get better. That's what the offseason's for.”

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

“I am definitely a 'denim first' guy.”

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

“I started to get addicted to the Jerry Rice mentality. I can get up before anyone else does. I can outwork anyone.”

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

“It's not fun to watch your team go out, and guys that you've worked so hard with, and the countless hours you've put in on your own time to go and showcase all your hard work, and then have it taken from you and then see your boys playing without you.”

“Tough times don't last. Tough people do. I preach that, and I guess you have to live to it.”

“You've got these young kids out here that have to learn, but you learn from the guys above you. I learned from the Kevin Faulks.”

“The funnest thing to do is win.”

“I wear a lot of sweatshirts and joggers in the winter and gym shorts and tees in the summer. I really appreciate something that is easy to slip on and chill out in.”

“Bill Belichick has been an awesome, awesome guy to learn from.”

“I would say the greatest challenge, for me, had been my rookie year and learning my spot. It is an emotional battle, as you have good days and bad days. Being young and thrown into this big business is challenging.”

“You can never go wrong with a pair of jeans, a cool tailored shirt, and a nice jacket. You can dress it up with a more stylish jacket or a bracelet, watch, or necklace. It's simple, but it's cool. That's my opinion.”

“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.”

“Psychologically, for an athlete to miss a game because of injury, it's tough.”

“I think it's an honor to play for coach Belichick. You never go into a week thinking you are not prepared.”

“I've always felt like if I had a bad practice, I could potentially get cut the next day.”

“Devin McCourty - he's got his own style: he always wears a nice fitted suit and mixes up his colors. He's got some game when it comes to the fashion world.”
