For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.

I feel like I've had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it's gotten stronger every year that I've been here with the Patriots. The more things we do together, talk about together, work together on, the closer we become and the more we rely on each other. I feel like our relationship is very close and continues to grow closer every year as we grow older together.

Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.

I'm not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process. We do the same thing with all our players. We take a look, as I said, at their personal family life, we look at the history of what they've done in high school and college.

I'm not really worried about the other 31 teams.

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It's part of the process.

The only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.
