On how he feels about being Mr. Irrelevant and what he knew about Mr. Irrelevant before being selected
“I feel extremely grateful and excited to be able to go out there for the Broncos. I know a little bit about Mr. Irrelevant, but the main thing is I have to make the most out of it and help us win.”
On what it was like to get the call from the Broncos
“It was an emotional moment trying to hold it all together in front of the family and everything. I’m just really excited to get the opportunity. The main thing now is just being able to help the team be able to win. I’m excited to play for the Broncos. That’s a great team that I wanted to play for before the draft.”
On his production in college with 17 forced fumbles
“Meticulous intent and being kind of being obsessed with it. Now I’m just ready to go do that on the field and help us get some wins.”
On how he would describe himself as a linebacker and a player
“I’m a team-first guy, but as a linebacker I prepare as a quarterback on the defense and getting everyone on the same page. Make sure our defense performs as one and that is what I’m looking forward to bringing to the Broncos team as a player that is going to put the team success before all else in any instance.”
On if he thought he would go undrafted
“I was trying to keep my mind off of things that I can’t control. When I got that call, I was extremely grateful.”
On if he had opportunities to leave the University of Buffalo and why he stayed
“I did have opportunities, but I’m big on being a team-first guy. That is all that matters to me. Also I felt like my main thing was being the best player that I can be and winning a MAC championship. I felt like I could have done that when I had those opportunities, so I stayed.”
