06:57 AM ET 04.29 | Former Patriots cornerback Ellis Hobbs was a guest on ESPN's "First Take" program today, and ESPN.com. While Hobbs now says his heart is in Philadelphia, he didn't take any parting shots at the Patriots. Instead, in what was one part of the interview that stood out, he unexpectedly jumped to Bill Belichick's defense. After answering a question about how he'd some day like to be an animator for Disney, Hobbs was asked by host Dana Jacobson what type of Disney character Bill Belichick would be. "Bill gets a hard time amongst the media, amongst you guys, and in the public," he said. "If anything, I'd say he's like the Hunchback of Notre Dame without the face and the hunchback. Rough exterior, but he has a kind heart and he means well. He just goes about it differently. ... Everybody has him all wrong." Looking back, Hobbs also said he regretted one situation from his time in New England -- when he called out the team's fans. "I didn't handle that situation the right away, now looking back on it," he said.
