BOSTON (CBS) – Jermaine Wiggins, the retired NFL tight end and Super Bowl XXXVI champion with the Patriots in 2001, tells WBZ NewsRadio, “When you get to the NFL, everything is completely different.” He tells rookies taking the field for the first time Sunday, “You definitely don’t want to have any mental errors.”

Wiggins also says, Coach Bill Belichick, “does a great job of preparing guys” and that takes the edge off players.
