I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time. ↗

I had a great career and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing. ↗

I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is. ↗

It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it. ↗

It's a really interesting and diverse business. You're a farmer first, then a winemaker, then you're onto marketing and distribution. So it's multi-faceted and really engaging. I've learned more in the last couple years than in the ten prior to that, so it's been pretty interesting. ↗

Playing in New England and the Boston area, the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well, they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly. ↗

The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top. ↗

The game against the Vikings back in my second year stands out. It was kind of a turnaround for us. It allowed us to make a run at the playoffs for the first time in quite a while. The memories are so many it's hard to pin one down. ↗

The positives of retiring outweighed the positives of returning and my desire to still play. ↗
