Defensive Backs

Brandon Cisse, South Carolina

On what makes him stand out in this draft class:

“Probably elite athleticism, high IQ football player. Somebody that’s still getting better each and every day. I’m not even close to what I’m going to be and I know I got a long way to go.”

On versatility being a part of his game:

“Yeah, I like being able to move around. Play inside and outside. I feel like the more you can do that, the more you can bring to a team. If you can play outside on base downs and slide inside on third downs, you don’t know what’s coming. I could blitz from there, I can go back and play the hook, I can play the half like a safety. Versatility is huge.”

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo

On what it means to be at the Combine:

“It means everything. Just being here, watching it as a young kid, telling yourself you’re going to be here one day and now you’re finally here. It’s a dream come true.”

“I’m versatile. I played in the box, played up high. Being able to play anywhere on the field and make plays means a lot.”

D’Angelo Ponds, Indiana

On what the National Championship did for him:

“That’s definitely a thing. A guy who’s a winner. I feel like I got the right mentality, the right mindset to never get comfortable. Know that people are going to be at your neck since you’re winning. That 1-0 mindset kind of instilled in me. I’ll just take it throughout my life.”

On what he learned in his college career:

“I just learned how resilient I am. I’m a competitor as well. I always look for the best competition. Being that I came from JMU to Indiana just to play against top competition in the Big Ten. I’m a winner. I can count on probably one hand and one finger how many games I lost in my college career. I would say I’m a winner, and I just have that winning mindset.”

Avieon Terrell, Clemson

On what a team is getting if they draft him:

“A leader, a baller, somebody who’s going to go out there and give all the effort. Somebody who wants to come in and win a Super Bowl.”

On what he’s trying to prove at the Combine:

“That I’m the best corner in the draft. That’s what I’m trying to prove. It’s going to show, and the film shows. That’s it.”
