Somebody that&#8217;s still getting better each and every day. I&#8217;m not even close to what I&#8217;m going to be and I know I got a long way to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On versatility being a part of his game:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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&#8217;t know what&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n  Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo<\/p>\n<p>On what it means to be at the Combine:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It means everything. Just being here, watching it as a young kid, telling yourself you&#8217;re going to be here one day and now you&#8217;re finally here. It&#8217;s a dream come true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m versatile. I played in the box, played up high. Being able to play anywhere on the field and make plays means a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n  D&#8217;Angelo Ponds, Indiana<\/p>\n<p>On what the National Championship did for him:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s definitely a thing. A guy who&#8217;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&#8217;re winning. That 1-0 mindset kind of instilled in me. I&#8217;ll just take it throughout my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On what he learned in his college career:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just learned how resilient I am. I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;m a winner, and I just have that winning mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n  Avieon Terrell, Clemson<\/p>\n<p>On what a team is getting if they draft him:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A leader, a baller, somebody who&#8217;s going to go out there and give all the effort. Somebody who wants to come in and win a Super Bowl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On what he&#8217;s trying to prove at the Combine:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That I&#8217;m the best corner in the draft. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m trying to prove. It&#8217;s going to show, and the film shows. That&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defensive Backs Brandon Cisse, South Carolina On what makes him stand out in this draft class: &#8220;Probably elite&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":778414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[98782,37,241,7,34,38,1014,262,2444,2443,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-778413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-2026-offseason-editorial","9":"tag-app-homepage","10":"tag-chargers","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-homepage-cp","13":"tag-homepage-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-losangeleschargers","18":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116139047321007707","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/778414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
