Default Are Jordan's comments on Pats indicative of most players?

What's really stood out to me reading Lamon Jordan's comments about joining the Pats is how he repeatedly states how it is a privilege to put on the Patriots uniform and that it means something, etc. The comments are overall extremely reverent and not something you hear often.

This is from his recent Q&A, but I know he also make similar comments upon signing.

Do you like the sound of that -- ex-Raider, and present Patriot?
"I love it. I think the hardest thing for me so far has been signing autographs. I made a couple mistakes, I put [number] 34 down there because I'm so used to signing 34. But I love the fact that right now I have on a Patriot uniform. When you put on that uniform, I think the name on the uniform speaks for itself. The players that wear the uniform are very privileged. I'm very privileged and honored to wear this uniform."
The comments are even more interesting when juxtaposed with last year's Spygate episode, when lots of people were questioning whether one of the lingering effects would be other players' perceptions of the Patriots and if it would possibly damage them in player acquisition.

So do you think that Jordan's comments are indicative of what other players around the league still think of the Patriots?

Yeah, I think so. The media may hate us but the players know our system and know that it's a quick ticket to possibly get to a Super Bowl. Coming from Oakland, he must respect our sense of order around here and the fact that we have a head coach who is not constantly fearing of his job because of heat from a dinosaur owner who is way too hands on. I think most players would feel this way about us... well, most players besides Joey Porter.

I think most players would be thrilled to be here. Even Ladanian (with his stupid "they aint tryin" comment) would absolutly love it here. Then again some NFL players simply would not be tough enough to withstand "The Patriot Way".

I'd like to think that Jordan's feelings are indicative of many in the league. But coming out of the Raiders organization, I think Jordan would be honored and priviledged to wear a McDonald's uniform.

Ask the players, past, current and future...

Ask the fans of New England.....

There is something very special going on in Foxboro, has been for quite some time.

Too bad the media cannot seem to get the story line down. Their loss,

Jordan is going to be a very beneficial addition to this football team.

Well, my point is that what he said struck me as genuine. He hasn't been fully indoctrinated into the Patriots Interview Speak yet, and I think he was extemporizing his true emotions & thoughts about joining the franchise.

Frankly, it speaks volumes for the Patriots Brand that it remains at such a high level after how the media pilloried the team last season.
