De'Ron Harmon, the closer we call him, safety came in, closed a lot of games. My boy, he's the first one to say it's going to be the greatest comeback of all time.

No, never in that moment. No, heck no. He's not pranking in the Super Bowl. Absolutely not. The marshmallows came nowhere near that. That was probably training camp. But, no, that is not Bill's game day personality.

Tom doesn't have any... It's an odd show, right? He's mythical in a sense. He doesn't have any bad stories. He doesn't have anything that he's not perfect in Tom Brady in.

I haven't seen too many of that of Tom. I will say the first time I got drafted by the Patriots, I get drafted there, and boom, they call me. Okay, I'm 21 years old, by the way. I left Rutgers as a junior, so I'm a 21-year-old kid. I'm in college classes a couple weeks ago. Now I get drafted by New England Patriots in the third round. I go up to Foxborough. I sign my contract.

So he was a pro when I first ever touched a football. And I'm an old player now. So imagine what he is to these kids. So I'm like, oh shoot, what am I going to say?

Logan, right? Logan Ryan, third round out of Rutgers, man. I love you. I'll watch your tape. Like, I'm Tom. If you need anything, like, my locker's over there. And I get here early.
