K Jason Sanders

(Did you have any inkling before coming into today that the Dolphins would be selecting you?) – “I knew there was interest. I went on one of the 30-visits. They called me five minutes before you see my name on TV, so that was about it.”

(Who did you meet with when you had the visit?) – “I met with the whole staff – the General Manager (Chris Grier), the (Executive) Vice President (of Football Operations Mike Tannenbaum and Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator) Darren Rizzi.”

(What did you think about Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Darren Rizzi?) – “Coach Rizzi is a good guy. I’m excited to go and hear what he has to say and do what he asks.”

(If you were going to give us a scouting report on yourself, what would it be?) – “Confident. I think confidence is what makes a young kicker a good kicker. I guess you would say confidence.”

(How do you feel about the opportunity considering, right now, you’re pretty much the only kicker?) – “Like I said earlier, I’m excited to be the only kicker coming into Miami. I’m excited to come in and work with (Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Darren) Rizzi and come and see what he has to say and then we go from there.”

(How many other teams showed interest and how many others brought you in for a 30-visit?) – “The Dolphins were the only one to bring me on a 30 (visit), but the (New York) Jets seemed really interested. The Jets and Dolphins I figured it would come down to.”

(When the Dolphins brought you in, did that peak your curiosity or get you really excited about the prospect of coming here?) – “Yes, I know going on a 30-visit as a kicker is a pretty big deal, so when I got there I was pretty excited, just walking in and soaking it all in. I felt good when I was there. I met a lot of people and had some good conversations with a lot of people and I felt pretty good.”

(What did they tell you about why they opted to bring you in?) – “They didn’t say much. All I know is that I was the only kicker they brought in on a 30 (visit), so I walked away feeling pretty good about that.”

(What is the range that you feel comfortable with?) – “I’ve always believed that anything under 50 (yards) should be 100 percent; but anything above 50, I think, at this level, should be a good chance of making it.”
