Lots of great quotes in here (http://espn.go.com/blog/denver-broncos/post/_/id/6771/roby-gets-clean-slate-has-to-earn-the-rest), especially from Harris:
“He’s going to have to learn fast. He’s going to have pump up that learning speed," said cornerback Chris Harris Jr. “He’s going to have to be quick if he wants to compete with us. Like Kayvon [Webster] last year, he got thrown in pretty fast as a rookie and he learned it. If you don’t, you won’t play; they won’t care who you are."
...The Broncos would like Roby, with his 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash and coverage skills that led several scouts and personnel executives to put him at the top of this year’s cornerback class, to be in the mix in their specialty packages. Given that they spend over 70 percent of their snaps in nickel and dime packages, as well as a seven-defensive back look from time to time, that is no small item on the agenda.
“A lot of young guys, they come in and they expect like everything to be given to them, like ‘I got drafted. I’m the man.’ They’ve got to realize they have to get to work," Harris said. “That’s something I sort of let people know. [Roby] is like all of us. He has to get to work. You’ve got guys who’ve been here, been in this league, and want to accomplish some things."
Harris is great. :salute: Man I hope that guy is 100% back from that partial ACL tear and ready to work.
