Postgame – New England

WR Jaylen Waddle

(The first offensive play of the game went to you, how did it feel to get that first catch out of the way right off the bat?) – “I think it went great. I think it was just something that I’m glad I can say I just got out of the way. I didn’t want to make it ongoing so it was pretty good.”

(Are you the type of player who like some guys need to get hit first to get into game mode?) – “Most definitely. All my nerves and stuff be gone by the time the first play go. Get hit and it’s like back to reality.”

(Scoring a touchdown in your first NFL game, what’s it like?) – “It was great. It was a great play call. I think my teammates did good just helping me get open. It was a great call.”

(QB Tua Tagovailoa talked about all the guys that impacted that touchdown. There were a lot of people. We see you with the ball, but there were a lot of guys that made that happen. Is that kind of what you felt as well?) – “Most definitely, most definitely. It was kind of a play that we kind of drew up. I’m just happy that we were able to score, go ahead. It was a good play.”

(Do you still have the ball?) – “I gave it to my mom actually, after the game.”

(Did you know that first play was coming to you? Either when it’s called or this week when they put it in?) – “Nah, it wasn’t just drawn up like throw the ball there. I think Tua did a good job of just knowing where the coverage was and it was just the right play.”

(Describe the feeling; it’s your first NFL game, you catch your first touchdown and you get a road win, what does it feel like to be you in this moment?) – “It’s great. Every win is going to be great. But first one in a big game, it was a great atmosphere and playing against guys you know on the other side so it was great.”

(What was going through your mind when you were in the locker room prior to a regular season NFL game for the first time? What were you thinking about?) – “Jut going over all the plays, going over the gameplan just trying to do everything right. Get a routine and just go about it.”

(Have you heard WR DeVonta Smith got a touchdown?) – “I actually saw. I saw before so I was keeping tabs on ‘Smitty’ (DeVonta Smith). I love watching ‘Smitty’ play.”

(How about what you said before, what was it like playing in a game with so many other Alabama players – obviously QB Tua Tagovailoa and Patriots QB Mac Jones at quarterback?) – “It was great. I think both of them did really good for their teams. It was great just knowing guys on the other side. It was pretty cool.”
