I keep forgetting about Pollard. Hope he can make a solid contribution this year.
I forgot about him too! Nice interview- he's got exactly the right attitude.
Plus it's cool he used to be a Colt:singing:
"Belichick told Pollard he was looking for experience, a leader who still had something to offer on the field but could help groom younger players for the future. "A perfect fit for me," Pollard says. He signed a one-year contract for a reported $830,000, but with no guarantees he'll even make the cut when the season begins in September.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Pollard says.
Remember, this is a guy who has fought for everything. He never played college football, opting instead for a basketball career. Bradley signed him out of Seward County Community College in Kansas, in 1992, and the fans here still revere him as a captain who led the Braves out of a five-year abyss to a 23-win season and the NIT quarterfinals in 1994.
"Tom Brady (the All-Pro quarterback) came up to me and said, 'You're going to help us so much. We're glad you're here,'" Pollard says."
