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.
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?

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."
