He also said he wouldn’t hurt Brady if he has the chance to sack him:
“Never,” he said. “I would never try to hurt Tom. That’s the funny thing. If I get a free shot at Tom - and I’m sure they’re going to do everything they can to keep me out of there - I would never slam him to the ground or throw my weight on him. Of course, you’re going to go out and play hard and make the tackles, but I could never hurt him. He’s like family to me - his sisters, his mom, his dad.
