Excited about working with Brady and the rest of the players. "Really exciting" to get the call from the Patriots. "Just couldn't believe it. It was a dream come true. ... I couldn't stop smiling." Notes he's been flexible -- had several different coaches and coordinators in college. Said it's helped him along the way. Friends with Bentley -- they were teammates at Purdue. Excited to be teammates with him again. On being in same QB room with Brady -- "Sit there and take in as much as you can. ... It's such a great quarterback room. Excited to be a part of it." Growing up, he was a Colts fan but it was "hard not to respect how great New England is." Polished kid who answered some tough questions -- handled himself well.
