Quote: "We have really been in love with this kid for a long time. He fits what we want to do. He is very athletic, which we want guys to get to the second level and do some cutting and those types of things. We think he is only on the rise. This kid is going to get better and better." - head coach Gary Kubiak

Quote: "We think he’s got a big upside. He does come from a smaller school. Coming in and facing the competition that’s much harder than it was in college, it might take a little bit of time. But we think he’s got a huge upside and he has the chance to be a really good corner in this league." - defensive coordinator Richard Smith

Quote: "He has some special qualities. He’s had a great career. He’s got unbelievable stats for three years. We think this guy has special talents. He’s a receiving-type back - a guy that can play third downs and can be very hard to cover out of the backfield and is a big-time mismatch for linebackers in coverage." - offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan

Quote: “We are really excited about this pick. He’s a really productive linebacker and has really good athletic ability. We like his foot quickness and his change of direction. He has made quite a few plays from on the ball. He’s got really long arms (34 inches) which is impressive." - defensive coordinator Richard Smith

Quote: "What you have here is a big football player. He brings a size and dimension that we don’t have with our defensive line. This guy is 6-4 ½. I think at the combine he was 347 pounds and I think he played at 335. So that’s a size you are looking for, especially in our league where you have to stop the run. We think he has that type of ability." - defensive coordinator Richard Smith

Quote: “He’s got good ball skills. Watching him work out at the combine in terms of his range and his ball skills, I thought they were good. Sometimes when you read his speed and (wonder) why he didn’t go higher, it’s not because his football ability. It’s because of the speed part of it. I think he ran a 4.65 or something like that. We like him as a football player and we are happy to get him.” - defensive coordinator Richard Smith

Quote: "This guy played in a great conference. He played in the Pac-10. This guy knows what it is to be chased by very good people. He'll get rid of the ball. So all that stuff, he's way ahead in that standpoint. He's very, very smart. I like to try and he's a great young man and I'm looking forward to working with him." - coach Gary Kubiak
