OL Larry Borom

(Welcome South Florida. Obviously, you’re skilled as a tackle, guard is something you can play – there is a need on this roster. What have they said to you regarding guard and whether you’ll get an opportunity there?) – “Hasn’t been too much communication. I’m just excited to get in the room and just help any way I can.”

(Do you see yourself as a tackle, a guard or both?) – “I feel like I can do some of everything. So I think either or, whatever is needed to help the team win.”

(How would you describe your journey since you joined the NFL and your early days in Chicago?) – “Been up and down. Got drafted to Chicago, first year I think was a solid year. I mean I came off an injury the first game. The second year dipped a little bit. And then just been up and down from there. I’m just excited to get somewhere and have a fresh start, get a clean slate.”

(What did you like about the opportunity here in Miami?) – “Just everything. From the top down, everything’s in line. It’s exciting.”

(I’m working on a couple of things. One thing is guards being taller nowadays. You’re 6’5” – why are guards able to play guard at that height nowadays? Is it the pass blocking skills from tackle translate? Do you have any thoughts on that?) – “Honestly, I felt like from playing tackle to moving into guard the pass rush gets more confined, so that’s probably something to do with it. Just people evolving honestly, that’s about it.”

(And then I’m doing something on Draft night experiences. Tell me about your Draft night experience. Was it good? Did you go where you thought you were going to go? What happened that night?) – “Honestly, me and my whole camp, we thought I was going to go on Day 2. So that night ended, that was tough. But then Day 3, I didn’t have any idea where I was going to go.”

(So were you thrilled or disappointed? What was the reaction when you actually got selected?) – “I was still excited. It’s still a great opportunity, you know what I mean? It really doesn’t matter where you go as far as pick wise, you just got to do something with it.”

(How do you feel your skill set aligns with the Dolphins scheme, the outside zone scheme?) – “I think it suits it well. That’s something I ran in college. That’s something we tried to do in Chicago. So I’m familiar with it. I feel like I can get things done in it.”

(I see that you went to Missouri and this youngster Armand Membou, he’s in some of the Dolphins mock drafts as a tackle/guard. Do you still watch Missouri football? Are you familiar with his game at all?) – “Not too familiar with his game. I’ve seen some of his Combine highlights which were crazy. He’s a really good player. I don’t really know too many people at Mizzou since I’ve been gone, but he’s a really good player.”

(Have you had a chance to talk to Offensive Line Coach Butch Barry yet and what has he told you he likes about your game?) – “Had a good talk with him. We didn’t really go too much into the game. We just kind of went over just general stuff within the room and a lot of different things like that, but I’m excited to work with him, very excited.”

(Do you have any sense from the Dolphins, from General Manager Chris Grier, from anyone – I don’t know if your agent told you – what they like about your game? Was that every conveyed to you about what made them want to sign you?) – “Honestly, I don’t have too much info on that, just completely honest with you.”

(I saw that this was your first time being a free agent, what was that process like just having the freedom to choose where you would end up?) – “Honestly it was kind of crazy because it was just different. I’ve never had to deal with that coming off my rookie contract. It was eye-opening to a sense and then it was just a lot to process. It was very hectic.”

(If I’m not mistaken, you were with G James Daniels your rookie year in Chicago.) – “Yeah, I was.”

(Is there anything you can tell us about G James Daniels? His playing style, personality-wise, anything?) – “He’s a great dude. He helped me out a ton my rookie year. Played next to him on the right side. He’s everything you want out of a teammate. He’s a great player and just everything.”

(Sense of humor? Serious guy?) – “Oh no, he’s a goofball. He’s a jokester.”
