Those last two quotes are classic Rodney. Man, it's great to have him back.

Rodney's take
Patriots safety Rodney Harrison spoke with reporters after today's practice. He participated in individual drills in the workout, and ran with the scout-team defense. He joked that didn't remember ever being on the fourth string.
"It feels really good, all things considered," Harrison said, when asked how it felt to return to the practice field. "It's been a long time. A lot of nervous excitement, but it finally felt good to come out here and sneak past you guys and come out here and practice."
Asked if he doubted this day would come, Harrison said: "No, I never doubted it. I know some of you guys [in the media] might have doubted it, but I never doubted it. That just really served as motivation for me to focus, work extremely hard and just have my faith in God. It got me right here."
We'll have more from Harrison in a bit.

More from Rodney
...
Any hesitation from you on the field today?
“You know what, I didn’t come here with the spirit of fear, I came here with a spirit of peace.
...
Why today?
“Because none of you guys [in the media] predicted today. I felt good about that.”
Was there one thing that drove you, motivated you?
“He’s 33 years old and he’ll never play again. That’s all the motivation I need.”

Rodney, Part III
When were you cleared to practice?
“When I stepped on the field.”
How about hitting, are you cleared for that?
“We’ll see. Just take it day by day.”
...
Do you think you’ll be ready to go for Buffalo, the season opener?
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow, to see if I can practice tomorrow. That’s what I’m looking forward to. I’m not worried about Buffalo and what happens in the near future.”
...
What is the significance of this day?
“One practice. That’s all.”
