Linebacker Raekwon McMillan

(What’s your reaction to being chosen by Miami?) – “I’m just happy to be in the situation I’m in. I just want to say thank God for everything that he has done for me.”

(How much communication had you had with the Dolphins leading up to the draft?) – “I had a pre-draft visit with them at the Combine, and then everything leading up to the point (now), I hadn’t had much contact. Like I said, I just want to thank God.”

(Describe yourself as a player. What are your strengths?) – “I’m a leader on defense. I’ll do the best I can do.”

(What did the Dolphins tell you about how you’d be used?) – “Any position that they need. They said I can play any linebacker position. Wherever they need me to play, I can play it.”

(What’s the scene like there? It seems pretty emotional.) – “I got my family here. It’s a blessing to have everybody here at this special moment.”

(What’s this like to know that you have achieved a lifelong dream?) – “It’s amazing. All this hard work is finally coming to light. It’s time to get back to work.”

(Where had you thought you might go? Is this about the range where you thought you might be drafted?) – “Yes, sir. I thought a little bit higher for myself … But I’m happy with my situation.”

(You might have an opportunity to come in here and start right away. Is that something the Dolphins said when they talked to you?) – “Yes, sir. Any way possible that I can get on the field and contribute to the organization, I will do it.”

(You’re obviously very emotional right now. What are the thoughts that are going through your head that are making you feel this way?) – “It’s just a blessing. I’ve been through a lot in my life. It’s my dream.”

(Are you thinking about your family?) – “I have my family here. It’s just a blessing to be able to change all our lives.”

(Was there ever a time you doubted this moment would come?) – “No. I always knew that I would out-work anybody and I would be in the situation that I’m in today.”
