Wide Receiver Leonte Carroo

(On what he does well as a receiver) – “I catch the ball very well. I’m a very confident receiver that’s very physical. I rely on my speed a lot and I go up and make plays. I had 29 career touchdowns and I only had three career drops in my whole entire career. I take a lot of pride in the way I catch and also the way I block as a receiver.”

(On his ankle injury last season and whether it is okay now) – “Yes, sir. My ankle is 100 percent healthy and I’m ready to go.”

(On whether he had conversations with the Dolphins prior to the draft) – “Yes, sir. I actually went on a visit that went really well. I really enjoyed my visit. It was an awesome visit. I got to meet with all the coaches and now I’m happy to be a Dolphin.”

(On what it was like to see himself get drafted) – “It’s been a long process. I’m a very confident guy and I feel like I’m a guy who put in a lot of hard work throughout college. (I am) definitely a guy who felt that he was first-round talent and I’m just blessed to be in this position of being drafted and especially getting drafted to a great organization like the Miami Dolphins. I’m just happy for my family right now and all my friends and all the people that sacrificed for me to be in the position that I’m in today.”

(On if there was a receiver in the NFL that he compared himself to and looked up to) – “My favorite wide receiver growing up was Marvin Harrison. That’s the reason why I like to catch the ball the way I do because I’ve never seen him drop a pass. But as far as a receiver that I think I am, I’m a much faster Anquan Boldin, someone that has the ability to stretch the field and go deep and also be a possession receiver that’s very physical, as well. ”

(On how exciting it is for him to be playing alongside with WR DeVante Parker and WR Jarvis Landry) – “I’m very excited. As a sophomore, I got to play against DeVante when he was at Louisville, and I got to see what type of great, physical receiver he is. I’m a huge fan of Jarvis Landry. The accomplishments he’s made in the past two seasons … watching him at LSU, it’s an honor to play against those guys. I’m going in to have the mindset that I’m going to be as hungry as can be and learn from those guys. But at the same time, I’m going in to compete and try to win a starting spot as well.”

(On if he knows any players on the Dolphins personally) – “No, actually.”
