Fighting for an opportunity to make the 53-man roster, Deyon Sizer, DT, Broncos, joins Pro Mindset Podcast host, Craig Domann. Currently entering his third Denver Broncos training camp, he knows the challenges and opportunities each athlete faces on the 90-man roster. Deyon is a Denver area product who attended Colorado State University – Pueblo, where he was a very prominent college football player at the DII level. In the past two seasons, Deyon spent time on the practice squad and last season he was on the active roster three-times. Deyon and Craig, talk about the Pro Mindset® that an athlete must have during NFL’s training camp.
Specifically, they discussed the merits of having a goal beyond making the team. As Domann points out, “Most NFL rookies only have the goal of making the team and this is what limits them. They want to get paid for playing the game that they played for fun their entire life. However, if all they aspire to do is to make the 53 and everyone else makes the 53, how did they set themselves apart from everyone else?” Domann shares with Deyon, the mindset of shooting for the stars in terms of setting his mind on becoming a starter this season. This also brings along with it, the responsibility of performing, working, competing, and knowing the playbook consistent with being a starter. It also means that Deyon needs to be a leader. One of the things that Craig has done over his three decades of representing players is teach them to act like a vet. One of the reasons why rookies don’t often make it is because they act like one. Typically, rookies give the coaches the impression they are not prepared and not ready for the big time. Rookies normally stick together and have conversations that center around, “Do you think you're going to make it?” Those are wasted conversations that don't help the player make the team.
Enjoy this podcast as you get an inside look at the mindset that it takes to make the 53-man roster. It’s not only a physical game, but a mindset game as well. Follow Deyon and root for him as he competes in the 2021 Broncos Training Camp.
