        Did you know

        • Trivia
          Joe Swanson writes a children's book about a "hopeful squirrel" who seeks to achieve his goals despite being handicapped. Julian Edelman also wrote a children's book about a squirrel who wanted to play football with the other animals despite being the smallest. This is another homage to the New England Patriots.
