More from the SiriusXM interviews:
Belichick on Ninkovich:
Worked his way from the kick game to full time defensive player.Learned how to fully utilize his skills, similar to Vrabel.
Belichick on RBs:
This year we have a little more versatility. Hopefully we'll have a little more balance between the run & pass.
Kraft on 2017:
On paper this is a really exciting team, but you don't really know until about a month into the season how good a team is going to be.
Kraft on 2016:
I'm still living it. I don't wear rings, but I carry the new one in my pocket until the start of the new season.
Kraft on Brady:
Tom has done a lot for this team. One time we had a contract discussion... we were going to having trouble keeping everyone. He agreed to take less for the good of the team. I don't know how many quarterbacks in today's environment would do that, especially someone who has accomplished what he has. He truly puts winning first, and showed it in the financial deal he was willing to take. We're so lucky to have him.
David Harris on becoming a Patriot:
I grew up a Michigan fan so wearing blue isn't a problem, it was the red part!
(Don't worry @Actual Pats Fan , he was joking around...)
Playing here, the culture has been amazing. Great individuals and they're even better off the field.
David Harris on the Jete:
They kind of blindsided me, being so late. It was more about the disrespect of the situation than anything else.
