Aqib Talib is back in town, as he and Aaron Dobson are hosting a football camp at Merrimack.

So of course, with plenty of Patriots reporters around, the conversation turns to the Pats, his former team. When asked about facing them this Fall when he's with the Broncos, Talib seemed excited.

Talib said he's looking forward to coming to Foxboro to play the Pats. Said it'll be fun to go up against Brady in a game.

He also had plenty of praise for Bill Belichick, whom he had seemingly been critical of earlier.

CSNNE:

"It meant a lot, man. I learned a lot," Talib said. "I learned a lot about just being a professional, learning from Bill [Belichick], seeing how Bill runs his building. So it was a wonderful experience for me."

In particular, Talib praised Bill for picking up Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins, saying that it was "Bill at his finest." A curious choice, seeing as neither player really lit things up last year. Still, high praise coming from one of the best corners in the game, and someone who went up against those guys often last year in practice.
