1st DOWN
Describe Marcell Dareus in 30 seconds or less …

Marcell Dareus is just a stud. There is no two ways about it. He is big, he is mobile, and he is aggressive. He is remarkably agile for a big man. He is explosive. And he is just a nice young man on top of all of that. Everything you would expect of a player picked in the top three selections in the NFL draft, Marcell is all of those.

What is Dareus’ best quality as a football player?

I do not know if I can necessarily limit that to just one quality. Obviously, his size. His explosiveness. His ability to play different positions along the defensive front and in different defensive schemes. There is no way to limit my answer to just one thing.

If I had to say one thing, I would probably say his power and his pass rushing ability. Once again, those are two things.

We needed a break like this. Maybe the next one will be Andrew Luck dropping to us. Then we're back in business.

What is the most memorable moment in Dareus’ college career?

When he picked off that football in the BCS National Championship game against Texas (January 7, 2010) just before the half. He started running it back for a touchdown and then all of the sudden standing there was a Texas Longhorn defender and Marcell, at all 6-foot-5, 310 pounds or whatever he was on that day, planted his leg did a complete pirouette to get around this man and score a touchdown en route to becoming the defensive MVP of the ball game. You just do not expect that from guys that size. And that play certainly went a long way to ‘Bama winning the national title.

‘I can play when it’s hot, I can play in the cold. These people are going to find out that when they get Marcell they are going to get a full-time commitment.’
He is just a nice kid. He added ‘I’m going to show Buffalo that they drafted the right guy.’

Can I be excited?
