Conference Call: CB Alterraun Verner

CB ALTERRAUN VERNER

(on if it has been a long couple of days sitting around waiting)

**

Yeah.

(on if he is a patient guy by nature or has it been tough)

**

It's been a little tough. It definitely was all worth the wait.

(on where he thought he would go in draft)

**

I had no idea.

(on what round he thought he would be picked)

**

I was hoping for the earlier rounds. Maybe second or third but I knew I could go all the way to the fourth.

(on what Titans told him when they talked to him, if would have a chance to compete to start)

**

They said just come in and try to contribute any way possible. If it's in special teams, if it's in a nickel situation, just come and compete. They said I have a chance to play.

(on if Titans trading to get him made him feel good that they felt strongly about him)

**

Definitely. It made me feel pretty good that they had me at a high value and they wanted to get me just in case somebody else tried. I definitely was really happy.

(on where he has lined up in secondary, slot or outside)

**

Either or. I definitely like the nickel because you get to do a lot of stuff. It's just basically another linebacker in there. I like playing on the outside. Any way for me to get on the field, that's all I care about.

(on the key to returning interceptions)

**

When you get the ball in your hands, it's just outrun everybody. If you have to make a couple moves, make a couple moves and try to run north and south as fast as you can.
