The 24-year-old with an easy smile steps through the door and heads to a corner in the hallway. The team's quarterback talks to a reporter across the room, but Bradley Roby doesn't mind. He is comfortable sharing the spotlight. In his first two seasons, despite not starting, he has earned a reputation as a playmaker.
The interview on this spring afternoon symbolizes his career. It's going by as fast and casually as possible. Roby possesses the ability to dim the spotlight, to slow his pulse when the hearts of Broncos' fans are in their throats.
Flip the pages in last season's championship scrapbook, and the cornerback's fingerprints cover some of the biggest moments. At Kansas City, with overtime a growing certainty, Roby scooped up a fumble by the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles, head faked quarterback Alex Smith and jogged into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown. Against Pittsburgh, with Denver's championship dreams flickering, Roby wrestled free from a block by receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, poked the football loose from running back Fitzpatrick Toussaint, then DeMarcus Ware pounced on it. A week later, the Patriots needing only a two-point conversion to send the AFC championship game into overtime, Roby left his man as Aqib Talib deflected the football intended for receiver Julian Edelman into Roby's hands.
