If that's what he did then that's great - a guy excited to play football for the Patriots isn't bad at all. If a younger person doesn't have enthusiasm then they'll never have it but they get more mature and choose their spots better with time. And the one thing I kept reading about with the mini camp is that every reporter noted how huge he is and what a presence he has. Good stuff.

Separately, my concern with the Patriots is one that seems to be a long term issue - the ability to identify Tight End talent and then integrate it into the offensive system. There seems to have been a consistent issue at the position, and at some point you have to ask, is it the players, or those coaching the players?

I'm sure it's on Youtube somewhere. Instead of wearing a cap, he wore a helmet and stayed on the stage celebrating with his family like he won the superbowl. It was larger then life - which is supposed to be his personality. Some would look at it and say "get to work", "don't be an idiot" - other would say it's a level of excitement and personality that the team (any team) needs. Personally, I just thought it was a reaction I would have taken had I just been drafted for the NFL. Just MHO Eh – non issue. I’m sure it’s on Youtube somewhere.
