This brief clip shows a piece of Edwards’ talk which probably made an impact on the rookies. Make sure to follow Predominantly Orange on Facebook.

During Q&A’s with NFL players, many fans will ask what a particular player would be doing if he weren’t in the NFL. Thanks to the lockout, we are seeing first hand what many players would do.

Each month, I will showcase a current Denver Broncos player and inform you of their lives and accomplishments before coming to Denver. In doing so, I hope to shine a light on each players own unique journey on the road to Mile High. This months featured player is cornerback Syd’Quan Thompson.
