About Ra'Sul Douglas, you guys both went to JuCo, how did that help you mature?

I think going to JuCo helped mature me. A lot of people think JuCo, they think it's like high school all over again, but I think the talent that
I was playing with, all division 1 guys that just didn't have the great coming out, so it really prepared me for the next step.


Have you been in contact with Rasul?
Yeah, I talk to him a lot, talk to him all the time


What are some of the things he's told you?
Pretty much just control what I can, give 110%, work hard in everything I do and let the rest take care of itself.


Did you go against Shelton Gibson in 1-on-1?
I never went against him 1-on-1, he's a good player though.


Have you been in contact with the Eagles?
I haven't met with them yet, I talked to them at the Senior Bowl and the area scout a little bit here.


What does a team get if they draft you?
I think they get a very hard-nosed player, a guy that has great effort, passionate, a physical guy, team player.


How did playing in Big 12 prepare you for the NFL?
I think he NFL is a pass-happy league and the Big 12 is definitely pass-happy, I got to cover all the time and it's like Air Raid.


What was it like at the Senior Bowl?
I think I played pretty well, I could have played a lot better as well, I know sometimes with the coverages and things like that, I was doing pretty well,
but I wanted to do better.


What position did you play in the 3-3-5?
I'm like a hybrid guy, like a roll-down safety. It's called the spur position in our defense, but I think I could play linebacker or safety.


What have teams been asking you about?
Some outside backer, some strong safety.


What did you learn from Broncos coaches at Senior Bowl?
I picked up the communication and terminology of the NFL. We might be running similar stuff in college, but getting that different terminology really
helped me out, getting that exposure in the Senior Bowl.


Your last three games were really good, were you just getting better and better?
Yeah, I felt like I was definitely getting better as the season went on, I just wanted to help my team in any way I can.


You have an appetite for contact.
Yeah, I love contact. I love tackling, I love being physical, I love imposing my will on people.


When's your birthday?
March 24, 1996


How'd you get the name Kyzier?
My parents just named me that. I don't know the backstory.


Talk about growing up with your brothers.
The competitiveness between us, they're always pushing me to be better. Seeing what they do, it really inspires me to be a better person and player.


Is it just three boys?
Four boys and three girls.


Have you talked to the Steelers?
Not in a formal, just informal.


What do you try to get across to teams in meetings?
The type of player I am, I'm just trying to earn respect from all these coaches and GMs.


How long do the meetings last?
About 15 minutes.


Have you met with Carolina?
I don't think I have.


(unintelligible question)
I think it's very important because depending on what you're asking me to do, I've got to know about all areas. It pretty much feels like I could play
linebacker and strong safety, the big thing is just finding out where I fit.


Talked to Chiefs?
No.


What would it mean to play with your brother in the league?
It would mean everything to us, we've been talking about this since we were 5 or 6 years old, talking about this, playing Madden, man, we want to be in this
game one day, and it's right here now.


You guys all went the same route.
Yeah, everything happens for a reason, we're really tight knit.


How hard of a worker is your brother?
He's always been working really hard, he jsut hasn't had the best of luck these last couple of years.


How have you processed that?
Yeah, it hurts to see. I try to motivate him even though I'm his younger brother, so he can stay high on the spirits, keep going.


What's your biggest concern going into the NFL?
I don't have any concerns, I just want to be the best player I can be.


How do you feel about linebacker vs. DB?
As long as I'm on the field, I'm happy. I like hitting the quarterback, though.


Would it be weird if you played {your brother}
It wouldn't be weird, it would be fun.


Who would win?
I'd go with myself. Kevin would go with himself, Ka'Raun would too.
