LB Melvin Ingram III

(How does it feel to be here?) – “Amazing. Where else would you want to be?”

(How did this come together?) – “The grace of God. My agent and the team made it happen. But God.”

(I think there was interest last year. Is that right?) – “Yes, sir.”

(What is it about this franchise that you like?) – “Everything. From the training staff to the coaches to the people up top, the players, everything. It’s a first-class organization. It’s just something that I wanted to be a part of. It’s been a blessing to be here”

(What do you hope to bring to this team?) – “Me. (laughter)”

(You haven’t decided on a number yet?) – “Not yet. We’re still working on it. We’ll see. It’s the first day of camp, so we’ll see.”

(Negotiations going on?) – “Nah. There aren’t no negotiations. (laughter) I’m going back and forth trying to figure it out, really.”

(How are you at this stage of your career physically?) – “The same way that I’ve been my whole career. I’m still me. I’m 200 percent healthy. I feel amazing. I’m ready to rock and roll.”

(We saw you out here kind of helping with some of the individuals with the guys. Why is it so important for you to be involved with them when you’re not dressed out?) – “It’s just getting out there and getting a feel with the guys, getting into their routine of what they’re doing in individual and how they like to do this. It’s dope to be out there with them.”

(Kansas City Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo once said that you play angry. Is that right? Do you play angry?) – “I feel like everybody plays angry. This is a very violent sport. You have to be angry. That’s what this game comes with. It’s a way to release anger legally. (laughter)”

(What are your impressions of LB Jaelan Phillips?) – “He’s a dawg man. He’s got a chance to be special. He definitely has a chance to be special. And the way that he goes about his work. I like the way that he goes about his work. He comes to work every day and he puts that work in. I definitely admire that.”

(Are you hoping to be able to do anything on the field before the end of the offseason program? Or the start of training camp?) – “The start of training camp, I’ll be there.”

(I read that your dad was a big Miami Dolphins fan. How much have you thought about him in these past few weeks?) – “I thought about him a lot. If he was here to see this, it would be crazy. I know he’s smiling down and he’s happy. I know that.”

(Has this been a dream for you too?) – “Yeah, definitely. Just because growing up I knew he was such a big Miami Dolphins fan. It’s definitely been a dream and through the grace of God, it happened.”

(How did he pick the Dolphins? You were in North Carolina right?) – “I don’t know how he picked the Dolphins but he loved them. So now it’s dope to be here.”
