Awesome stuff. Gotta love this one
6. Branch said watching receiver Julian Edelman "taking shots" ignited a fire within. "He's the guy that kind of jump started me to get going a little harder."

I feel like you can't watch Edelman give it everything he has putting his body on the line and not do the same.

Nice piece. I love the quote from Jules describing his right tackle...

"...Sebastian Vollmer, some German that never played the sport until he was, like, 22."

You must mean Right tackle

You must mean Right tackle

Oh crap, embarassing brain fart. Fixing that...

7. Edelman on his unique career path: "There's a lot of guys that have that story on this team. You look at Rob Ninkovich; he was a long snapper and now he's a defensive end. Malcolm Butler, wasn't drafted. Tom Brady, sixth-round pick and he's won his fourth Super Bowl in six [attempts]. There's countless examples. Ryan Wendell, undrafted. Dan Connolly, undrafted. Sebastian Vollmer, some German that never played the sport until he was, like, 22. There's a bunch of those kind of stories, so I guess we're just a team of misfits."

so many good bits in that
