"Going from being a seventh-round pick to being a great player is a
credit to Julian and really one of the most amazing transformations
I've seen in this league. To go from a college quarterback, to a
pro receiver, then to a great pro receiver? I don't know how many
guys that have done that as well as Julian has....It's a privilege
for me to play with someone as special as him. I always think I get
much more out of my teammates than they get out of me in terms of
the relationship and what it means for me to see them grow and
succeed. I'm just so proud of him and everything he has
accomplished and will continue to accomplish because I know that
he's not done. He's got a lot of work he still wants to do."--Tom
Brady
"Julian has told me one of the reasons he's had success is the way
his parents have always been there for him. Being firm and having
expectations, but doing it with love and making him understand the
hard work that goes along with becoming successful. If you're
privileged to have a parent or a mentor guiding you to have great
love and respect, I think it gets you through the hard times and
helps motivate you to greater things. Julian is a testament to
that."--Robert Kraft
"What Julian has done from the time he entered the league is
nothing short of remarkable. He is the epitome of competitiveness,
toughness, and the great things that are possible when someone is
determined to achieve their goals."
--Bill Belichick
