I think the mental aspect of the game is huge.
No matter what, you're going to have hard days out here. There's going to be a drop here or a tough pass that you didn't come down with there.
If I do my job, take advantage of every opportunity I get out there and be in the right spot, the plays will come. When it does come, I've got to take advantage of it.
I didn't think I'd be starting a NFL game.
The quarterback-receiver connection is a constant work in progress. You're always working on your communication on the field, off the field.
Every single day was an opportunity for me to be on the field, if I was starting, playing or not playing, every single day I came out here ready to work.
I would say I am one of those guys who teams are looking for a reason to get rid of most of the time.
I just tried to make as many plays as possible to try and show them how hard I work and how hard I prepare and that I am willing to do whatever it takes to win football games and to accept whatever role they want me to be in. I think that has helped me throughout my career.
I didn't really have a plan B. My plan B was work harder and try to make it in the NFL, and that's what I want to do. I put everything I had into making it in this league, and that's why I'm here.
You can't do everything on the field.
When you have a dream and you believe in yourself and you have people believe in you, you just do whatever it takes to try to achieve that.
Getting cut four separate times really never stopped me.
Just being a dad, trying to balance both - football and being dad - trying to be the best at both. You know, you've got to work at it like anything else. I've been working.
Whatever my role is, I'm just going to go out there and do it to the best of my ability.
I'm playing in the NFL and getting to compete with these guys every single day, getting to play in the pre-season games. That's a dream come true right there.
My goal was to be a good player in this league. Got my butt up out of bed and got to the gym.
Some days are harder than others, just like anything.
I don't like to take a lot of time off. It's really not in my DNA.
I don't know if people consider me a deep threat, but maybe I'll get there one day.
When I got the call that the Patriots were interested, it was a very surreal feeling. I've always looked up to watching them play. They've been a team that has a long history of winning. Just to be considered to be a part of this team is a great honor.
