I don't put any thought into the footballs after I choose them. When you're out there playing in front of 70,000 people, like a home crowd, you don't think about it. You're just reacting to the game.

I think so highly of people who love their sport and make a really strong commitment to it.

I feel like I've always played within the rules. I would never do anything to break the rules. I believe in fair play.

I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

If you waste your time and energy on things that don't matter in the outcome of the game, then when you get to the game you're not going to give your teammates the best that you have to offer.

In sports you often become part of something greater than yourself.

I think I've been fortunate over the years to be at a point in my career where I really get to choose the partnerships that I really want to take on and they're a perfect fit.
