Hanging out with the cool kids
This won't make the Patriots notebook for tomorrow's paper, but it's a funny anecdote from the one and only Ellis Hobbs.
Ellis Hobbs is all about making room at the table for the uncomfortable newcomers.
The charismatic cornerback, himself at just his second training camp, said he’s been trying to help the rookies.
“Most definitely I can help the rookies because I’m fresh off being a rookie. It’s fresh in my mind. I know how they feel, I know what they’re going through mentally and physically; man, it’s an uphill battle. It’s like you’re a nerd trying to get in with the cool kids. We’ve all been here, we’ve been here for a year-plus, and those guys are just coming in, so you have to earn your stripes.”
