Mock talks to another young hopefull. Great read.
BM – Obviously you are aware that the Colts have a history developing undrafted players into big-time contributors, I mean at your position you see a guy like Melvin Bullitt, how did that affect your decision to come to Indianapolis?
DaC – It definitely did. I did my research. I knew that if it didn’t happen for me in the draft that it would basically be up to me to choose the best position for myself. I knew the Colts history, I’ve watched Bullitt. Just to go off the point, Bullitt is a really good guy.
Guys like Bullitt, other guys like Jamie Silva, even Antoine Bethea got drafted in the sixth round and he has exceeded all the sixth round expectations that he could. It makes me feel like I am entering a comfortable situation. I had the opportunity to sign with other teams but it just didn’t feel as good in my gut, like I belong in those places.
Here I really feel like I can really get the opportunity to make a difference, making the team, on special teams, wherever I can fit. I just look at it as a great opportunity. Coming from a small school I just wanted the opportunity to try out and be in front of some NFL coaches and have them evaluate me because I figure you find out whether you have it or you don’t. I feel confident in my abilities so I feel like I am a really good position.
