When did you start wearing earplugs and why? – Dan (Dudley, MA)
“I learned it from Jeff Feagles my first season, preseason, with the Seahawks. He’s been doing it for years and he got me into it. I started doing it religiously over in Europe when I was over there (for the NFL Europe season) because they have very loud stadiums with all the noisemakers they use. I just feel like it helps me concentrate – block out the background noise – and let me focus on what my job is.”
