À propos de sa décision de partir pour Oakland.
« Probably the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do in my life and the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make. I had four of the better years of my life spent there in New York. It was extremely excruciating leaving.
Just the way the fans have embraced me since Day One and the organization was great to me, I had an amazing time. It was hard to say goodbye.”
À propos de la réaction des new yorkais:
“I’ve got to be honest, I was worried about that because, like I said, the fans have been really, really good to me. They definitely played a role in my decision and that made it hard to leave. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone there.
I want to say I’m sorry to them because they’ve been so good to me.”
À propos du coach des TE Mike Pope
“Oh man, you can’t say enough about him. He’s like a father figure to me. He’s going to be in my life for the rest of my life. We’re going to remain close and talk all the time.
It’s just, he’s one of the guys it’s hard to leave behind. He’s really helped me become the tight end I am today. He’s helped me with on- and off-the-field stuff. I just can’t say enough good things about him.”
À propos de son futur à Oakland:
« I’m excited about the opportunity. Zach Miller had a lot of success here and I always felt I had the ability to be a guy that catches 60, 70 balls a season, and they have a lot of young talent out here and I’m excited to be a part of it. »
Je ne peux pas vraiment en vouloir à Boss de partir. Le gars avait l’opportunité de se faire beaucoup d’argent tout en se rapprochant de son Oregon natal et en plus il aura probablement beaucoup plus d’opportunités à la passe chez les Raiders qu’avec Gilbride à New York.
So long Kevin and good luck. And I’d like to apologize for the big hits you’ll get next time you play Big Blue 😀
