Do you have a nickname? "Man, a lot of them. Nickname from home? 'Dirty,' which is a Southern thing. I call everybody 'Dirty,' but they call me 'Dirty.' I'm not saying I'm dirty or someone is dirty."

What was your 'Welcome to the NFL' moment? "My rookie year, a long time ago, we played Pittsburgh. It wasn't even a catch, it was a block. I remember peeling back and blocking Lethon Flowers, who played with the Steelers. Donald Hayes [former Patriots receiver] caught a seam route, and I peeled back and got him. He got up and pointed at [another Pats' receiver] Troy Brown and said 'I'm gonna get you.' And Troy Brown was like, 'I didn't do it, Deion did it.' I've taken my licks and stuff, but I get a whole lot more pleasure out of making a block and seeing a guy score."

Nice to be in training camp this year? "It's a great feeling. Nobody wants to be here, but you know, we have to go to work. This is our job. Overall, this is where I'm at peace, when I'm around my teammates. Just being a part of this training camp and getting in the groove with the guys and understanding what the concept is, that's always a positive."

Four artists on your iPod? "R. Kelly, always. Field Mob, which is a group from my hometown. T.I., another guy from Georgia. Everybody from Georgia. Outkast. There's a lot of Southern stuff, but I'm a big R&B guy."
