Conference Call: WR Dominique Edison

WR DOMINIQUE EDISON**

(On if this is where he thought he might be picked in the draft)

I was happy. I don't even know, I was just at a loss for words when I got the call from Tennessee. I was kind of getting impatient towards the end of the sixth round. I'm glad Tennessee gave me the opportunity.

(On if going to a team that went 13-3 last year made it easier to wait longer in the draft)

Yes. I feel like I'm a part of one of the best teams right now and I'm just anxious about getting there.

(On what he feels are his strong points)

I feel like I'm a deep threat. I'm the type of guy that whatever the team needs in terms of blocking, special teams, whatever it takes to help the team win.

(On coming in after the team already drafted a wide receiver in the first round)

I felt like I was going to be a sleeper in the draft anyway. I'm just proud and thankful that I got the opportunity.

(On if he knows Titans first round draft pick Kenny Britt)

I saw him at the Combine.

(On if his game is similar to or different than Britt)

I'm not sure. I've never watched the guy play. I just met him at the Combine. That was all it was. I've never seen the guy play. I don't really know too much about him.

(On how his speed helped him in college)

I just felt like with my feet that I was able to get behind the corners and beat corners deep and I use that to my advantage.

(On if he knows any of the Titans players)

I know the running backs, LenDale White and Chris Johnson. I know the quarterback Vince Young.

(On who called to let him know he was the pick and what did they say)

I talked to the head coach. He just told me congratulations and he looked forward to meeting with me next week. He just told me to come in and be ready to work hard and things like that.

(On if he watched the draft all day)

Actually, I did. I've been up since 9:00 this morning.

(On what watching the draft all day was like)

It's been long, one of the longest days ever for me. But at the same time it's one of the best things to ever happen to me so far.

**

(On if he thought he could be drafted in 3rrd or 4th round)

I had been hearing anywhere from fourth to sixth to seventh. I just wanted to watch and see where receivers were taken off the board and see where I thought I would land.

(On if he is coming to the team with a certain mindset)

Yeah, that would be true.

(On who he watched the draft with)

With my family.

(On what it was like when his name was put on the screen after he was drafted)

It was awesome. Everybody was yelling. Everybody was so excited. It was a blast. One of the greatest feelings ever.

(On if he has ever visited Nashville)

No.
