The new guy has caught on quick.
Jets first-round pick Calvin Pryor wasted no time jumping into the Jets-Patriots rivalry. This week, in an appearance on SNY, Pryor was asked about Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
“We don’t like Tom at all,” Pryor said. “When I first came here, that was one of the first things I heard about: We hate the Patriots and we hate the Giants.”
Pryor, a safety out of Louisville, will get a crack at picking off Brady when the Jets and Patriots meet twice this season.
“So we hate those guys and I look forward to playing them this season,” Pryor said.
He’ll see the Giants in the preseason, but the crosstown rivals won’t play in the regular season again until 2015.
