Football journey: Brandon Deaderick
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots have produced two big wins in the past two weeks -- over the Ravens and Chargers -- and one surprise has been the presence of rookie defensive end Brandon Deaderick in the starting lineup.

The Patriots have produced two big wins in the past two weeks -- over the Ravens and Chargers -- and one surprise has been the presence of rookie defensive end Brandon Deaderick in the starting lineup. A seventh-round draft choice out of Alabama, the 247th overall pick, Deaderick has played significant snaps alongside Vince Wilfork and Gerard Warren.
After he was a healthy inactive for the first three games of the season, Deaderick has been credited with nine tackles and two quarterback sacks while seeing time at left end, right end and even as a sub rusher for a series last week against the Chargers.
Why he wanted to play football: "Because I liked to hit."
First positions: "Linebacker and offensive tackle. I really started focusing on [defensive] end in high school."
Favorite teams and players growing up: "I didn't really have a favorite team. Jevon Kearse was one of my favorite players. I always loved LT [Lawrence Taylor] -- he's all about sacks. Warren Sapp. Bruce Smith. Reggie White. All defensive players."
Why he chose Alabama after being one of the top prospects in Kentucky: "The tradition, and the chance to go in there and play in the SEC. I wanted to win a championship."
Top memories at Alabama: "The national championship. It's the big one. There are a lot of teams, and everything can go right for you and you still get cut out at the end. It was a real blessing. I played my role and we ended up coming out with the victory."
Comparing playing for Nick Saban at Alabama and Bill Belichick at New England: "They are two different programs. Coach Saban, he runs a top-notch program, very structured. It helped me mature a lot being there and playing for him. This is a great program [in New England]. Coach Belichick is very professional. I feel very comfortable here, really being around people who love football in both places."
Emotions on draft day after slipping to the seventh round, perhaps due to an off-field incident that involved him being shot in a robbery attempt: "Like I said before, that's over with. The cards fell where they fell and I had to play the hand I was dealt and make the most of the opportunity I was given. I had to make sure that wherever I went, I came in and gave it 110 percent so I wouldn't have any regrets. It really didn't matter to me [where I was drafted], as long as I got a chance."
First thoughts on life in the NFL and being in New England: "It was pretty much a culture shock to me. I'm not saying that in a bad way, but it's the pros. I realized that very quick, to get with the program, keep your nose down and work hard."
Comparing Elizabethtown to Foxborough: "I haven't been around that much here. Elizabethtown is a nice place, very community-oriented. It's obviously a lot colder up here. Accents are a lot different. The people are different, but they're both nice."

The Patriots have parted ways with another veteran.
The Patriots announced a few roster moves on Monday, including the surprise release of veteran defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick.
Deaderick, 25, was a seventh-round pick in 2010 and has spent the past three seasons making contributions on the Patriots’ defensive line. He played in 34 games, starting 14, and managed 51 tackles and five sacks during his tenure in New England.
He played sparingly as a rookie but saw increased time in his second year, playing a significant role in the Patriots’ run to the Super Bowl in 2011. He played in 14 games in 2012, but lost playing time to Kyle Love and rookie Justin Francis as the season wore on. The additions of interior linemen Armond Armstead and veteran Tommy Kelly seem to have made Deaderick expendable, leading to his release.

The release of Deaderick is a bit of a surprise. A 2010 seventh-round pick out of Alabama, Deaderick played in 14 games last season with five starts; he was on the field for 374 defensive snaps, or 34.1 percent of the Patriots’ snaps.
The team suspended him at the end of his rookie season for missing or being late for several team meetings.
