Did you become an NFL last week or something?

"Rookies here are never on their own," Harrison said. "We have so many veteran guys that talk to rookies, talk to each other. Bruschi, Vrabel, myself, Richard Seymour -- we talk to each other about different things all the time. I think no matter where you are at in the league, you can always learn and always get better, and the constant communication between players is huge."

Harrison broke into the league with San Diego in 1994. He still credits cornerback Dwayne Harper, linebacker Lew Bush and linebacker Junior Seau among those who helped him adjust to the NFL. Warren, the Patriots' first-round choice in 2003, started four games as a rookie and nearly every game since. He credits Seymour, Harrison and former teammates Anthony Pleasant, Rick Lyle and Roman Phifer for bringing him along.

"To be honest with you, when I was drafted, I didn't know what to expect, so I was searching for answers," Warren said. "The thing I did was try to gravitate to the veterans who were willing to help me in the transition. That is probably the best thing for any rookie who comes into the NFL."
