AA: It was a short tryout, but could you see an improvements in your game from the time you got there to the time you left?
BE: I realized that when you play against better competition you have to bring out the best in yourself.
AA: How would you grade your performance at the minicamp?
BE: I thought I did great on the first day. I definitely give myself an ‘A’ on the first day. And I give myself an ‘A’ on the last day. The second day though would probably be a C+. I did great at punt returns and special teams. I think I was one of the better special teams players out there.
AA: Do you think or feel like the team will give you an invite to training camp?
BE: I really have no clue. It’s so hard to judge scouts and what they’re thinking. I looked at the roster and they have a lot of receivers on there. And they also used two draft picks and signed another free-agent receiver, so it’s more competition for me.
AA: What aspects of your game do you think make you a viable candidate to play in the NFL?
BE: Definitely special teams. I feel like there are so many receivers out there that give you the basics, but you need to do something to separate yourself. I believe I can be that role player at receiver and also be a threat on special teams. I played almost every position on special teams.
