Drew Bledsoe’s 5 most popular quotes
- I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is.
- I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I have loved for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
- I had a great career, and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing.
- I played eight years without really being hurt seriously and hadn’t had to deal with that part of the game. So, to get hurt and to have to miss games, that part of it was very hard. And so when I came back and somebody else had my job, I couldn’t get it back. You know that was hard.
- That’s the only reason I’m here. I don’t need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.
