ROOKIE MINI-CAMP

Q: How did it go today?

COLIN BROWN: “It went good. I am excited to play football. It has been a long time.”

Q: What are the toughest things to pick up thus far?

BROWN: “For the last three years I have known the offense in an out. So figuring out the new offense and remembering what to do and remembering to play faster. Everything comes at a faster pace, so I would say those are the two main things.”

Q: What have you been doing the past couple weeks?

BROWN: “You know I spent a lot of time at home. I haven’t been home consistently for a long time so I spent a lot of time at home hanging out with my parents. I was working out and everything, as well.”

Q: What do you think of this level of competition?

BROWN: “It is a lot of fun. Everybody is good so you have to be ready to go every play. It is a lot of fun.”

Q: Do you feel like your head is spinning when you walked through the doors?

BROWN: “Yeah, you really didn’t know what you are doing as far as what was next in practice. It is a whole new situation and you don’t really know anybody. It is a different experience.”

Q: How different is this offense to pick up compared to the spread you ran at Mizzou?

BROWN: “It’s not as bad as I figured it to be. There are a lot of similarities. There are some minor things you have to adjust to, but for the most part it is pretty similar.”

Q: Do you feel like you belong here?

BROWN: “I definitely have confidence in myself. It is not like I think everybody is so much better than me, but everybody is good. It is just a matter of believing in yourself and doing what you do.”

Q: What was the reaction of the people in your hometown in Braymer, MO when you were drafted by the Chiefs?

BROWN: “Everybody was ecstatic. Everybody up in that area is a Chiefs fan so everybody was pumped. It is a lot of fun”

Q: How did it feel to get that Chiefs jersey?

BROWN: “That was a dream come true. My whole life, growing up, I wanted to play for the Chiefs. I am getting closer to realizing that dream. It was a pretty cool experience.”

Q: What has Coach Haley talked to you guys about?

BROWN: “Just playing hard and making sure you don’t take plays off. Play hard and play consistent.”

Q: What does it feel like being a rookie coming into a brand new situation in this organization?

BROWN: “I haven’t really thought about it like that. I am just thankful for the opportunity. The fact that it is here is the greatest thing ever. The opportunity is all that matters to me.”

Q: Do you think that being this close to home is an advantage or disadvantage?

BROWN: “I was thinking about that a couple nights ago. With some parts I think it will be a lot easier like when I want to go home and see my Mom, it is an hour drive up there. I can also where that could be a problem, but I don’t see it being a problem. This is where I want to be.”

Q: What do you think you need to work on the most?

BROWN: “A little bit of everything to tell you the truth. Coming out of a three-point stance, remembering the plays and knowing exactly what I am supposed to do, playing faster and just little parts of everything we did at Missouri, I have to improve on.”

Q: Have you had a chance to visit with Chase Patton?

BROWN: “Yeah, he called me a few days ago and told me he was coming. I was pretty excited about that and we have talked quite a bit since we have been down here. He is kind of like me, he is just glad for the opportunity. The fact that he is getting a chance, he is thrilled.”

Q: How big is the playbook compared to college?

BROWN: “We are just getting into it, so I don’t really know where it is going to go.”

Q: Is it a lot more information that you’ve had to soak in a shorter timeframe than you’ve had to learn previously?

BROWN: “Not really. We have put it in fast before. The fact that it is all new, to remember exactly what you are supposed to do is the challenging part.”

Q: What message do you want to send to the coaches?

BROWN: “Just that I am going to give everything I’ve got every play. I may not always be right. I may be wrong sometimes, but I will do whatever they want, full speed, every play.”

Q: When playing at Arrowhead with Missouri, did you ever look around and think it would be cool to be here at the next level?

BROWN: “For the Kansas game we were in the Chiefs locker room. So when we came in the day before to set up, I remember thinking this is one of the coolest places ever to play. I have thought back on that memory a couple times since draft day. ”
