We have finally heard from a member of the Patriots on the newest developments surrounding Deflategate.

Tom Brady brushed off the controversy on his weekly radio show on Monday. Rob Gronkowski took responsibity for the deflated balls, too — in his own way.

However, the first member from New England to opine publicly on the news of the NFL discovering that 11 of 12 balls the Patriots used against the Colts were under-inflated was cornerback Brandon Browner, who chimed in via Twitter on Wednesday.

For my 2cents Blount scored 3 rushing touchdowns. He could've carried a beach ball. Also doesn't hurt we only gave up 7 points #inflatethis
