OLB Cameron Goode

(It was reported a couple of weeks ago that you had a pre-draft visit to the Dolphins. How did that visit go, and what did you learn about this defense during your time here?) – “The visit was great. It was honestly, definitely one of my favorites. I love Miami. I’ve always loved Florida. I’m excited to come out here. The coaches are great. I love the coaches. I met with Coach ‘Camp’ (Anthony Campanile) and Coach (Ty) McKenzie. I love the coaches. I felt like I built a good relationship with them and I’m ready to go out there.”

(What do you feel are the things you do best as an outside linebacker? Did you play mostly in a 4-3 or in a 3-4 at Cal?) – “I played in a 3-4. I feel like I’ve been able to get my pass rush better throughout the years. I feel like I’m physical. I’m always going to be physical, setting the edge and things like that. I’m ready to get with Coach McKenzie and rush the passer and get all of that squared away and ball out.”

(You mentioned at the start how much you enjoy Florida and Miami. Tell me about how much time you’ve spent here and what it is about the area that you enjoy?) – “I played baseball for 10 years so I’ve been in Florida for a good amount of times to play baseball tournaments out there. I’ve always loved it. I’ve always said I wanted to live in Florida. It’s really a dream come true. It was my first time in Miami on my visit and I honestly loved it. It’s really crazy it happened.”

(How did baseball lose out to football?) – “Baseball was a little too slow for me. Football was it for me. It was physical. It runs in the family. My dad and great uncle have been in the league. I’m just excited and ready to go. Baseball was fun, but it’s not football.”

(Where did your dad and your great uncle play?) – “My dad got drafted by the Falcons in the fifth round a long time ago and my uncle, I believe it was the Chargers who drafted him. He went first round a long time ago.”

(Going back to your dad, I’m wondering what kind of advice he’s given you for the NFL?) – “He’s always telling me about his experiences. I just know it’s a mental battle and you always got to be mentally strong. It’s a long process. It’s a fight. Everybody is good, so things like that. Stay mentally in it and keep going really and just keep working.”

(I’m wondering how a outside linebacker ended up with the number 19. How did that come about?) – “When I first got to Cal, they gave me No. 41. I wasn’t feeling that, so I asked to change my number and they gave me the options No. 19 or No. 29. I felt like No. 19 was the number. It stuck. I love it now – No. 19.”
