New Atlanta Falcons defensive end Malliciah Goodman joined SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday on the “The Opening Drive” to talk about his experience at rookie minicamp this past weekend.
Below are a couple of excerpts from the interview, not the entire transcript. I’ll also comment on the Q&A from what I saw this weekend out at Flowery Branch.

FLOWERY BRANCH – On Friday’s “NFL AM,” NFL Network analyst Solomon Wilcots listed Atlanta Falcons strong safety Zeke Motta as his favorite seventh-round pick in last month’s NFL draft.
He likes Motta’s physicality, his size and the fact that in the BCS National Championship Game, Motta made a bunch of tackles on Alabama’s Eddie Lacy and never gave up.
“What I like about Zeke Motta is he’s physical, he can tackle in the open field, he’s a big physical presence at 6[-foot-] 2, 213.”
“I saw a tough kid who never quit in a game when a lot of people were waving the white flag of surrender.”
On Saturday, Motta got his first sense of what a Falcons practice was like when he took part in Atlanta’s Rookie Minicamp at the team’s facility in Flowery Branch, Ga.
