• Why he chose to become a Patriot

  “To be honest, it was [Bill] Belichick, man. Just the want and the need. And, you know, the position that I can fill there really, really caught my attention. And I felt that like that feeling wanted in a place. He’s a head coach I have a lot of respect for. And I just think that that goes a long way.”
