As I sit down to write about my interview with Ryan Harris #74 Offensive Tackle for the Denver Broncos, I am hoping he doesn't get fined for this interview. Because everyone knows the Offensive line is not suppose to talk to the media. While waiting for Ryan, I spent time at Dove Valley looking over the Super Bowl trophies and rings. I was nervous and excited, then he walked through the door and he said "Hey little man". I knew then that he would be a cool guy. So we sat down and here's what I asked.......

The interview was awesome. Ryan was talkative and spent a lot of time with me not making me feel rushed. He grew up in Minnesota and graduated from Notre Dame. He was drafted in the third round in 2007. I wish him and the entire Bronco team a great year. Thank you Ryan for your time.
