I don't care about my image. I'm already paid. I've already got my money, so why worry about my image?

I'm a country boy who hasn't really been exposed to city living, and it throws me.

I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization.

I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.

The New England Patriots have always been a special organization and I've always watched from afar.

I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm just contributing what I can.

I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.
