Unheralded rookie stepping up in Patriots' depleted tight end room
Briefly

I've just been preparing every day for whenever it was my time to shine. [Sunday] was one of those days for me. I always tell myself to be ready when that moment comes, because when you get those moments, you don't want to look back and say, 'I wish I did this' and 'I wish I did that.' With the opportunity I had, I made the most of it.
It felt great man. Just coming off the field with three touchdowns. It boosts my confidence, but not only that, just being ready for that moment. So, just every day I come to practice I work hard at everything that I do. So when that moment do come, I'm ready to shine.
