@@@ ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) 鈥?Two former Colorado State University Rams, linebacker Shaquil Barrett and running back Kapri Bibbs, are just hoping to land a spot on the Denver Broncos roster. Both are undrafted free agents and somehow have to get noticed and make something happen in a short period of time. Last year Bibbs shocked the college football world by scoring 31 touchdowns and rushing for more than 1,700 yards. The only person he didn鈥檛 shock was himself. Kapri Bibbs and Shaquil Barett (credit: CBS) 鈥淲hen I came out of high school I told myself I was going to do three years of college and then I was going to the pros,鈥?Bibbs said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how I felt and that鈥檚 what I worked every day for so I could achieve that goal.鈥? Barrett鈥檚 success wasn鈥檛 unexpected. He was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. But like Bibbs, he knows that he is starting over with the Broncos. 鈥淚鈥檓 out here to earn my <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton Tassen Kopen</a> stripes just like everybody else. Some people have already earned them and I鈥檓 trying to be just like them,鈥?Barrett said. Bibbs and Barrett both face uphill battles to make the team, but they compete hard each and every day 鈥?sometimes against each other. 鈥淚 know him (Bibbs) coming out, he鈥檚 going to show what he can do out there like he did at CSU,鈥?Barrett said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 competition when we鈥檙e out here, you know, and I don鈥檛 expect him to let up on me 鈥?if it鈥檚 me and him one-on-one because he has a family 鈥?he has to win, somebody has to lose,鈥?Bibbs said. Barrett is not an average 21-year-old. He鈥檚 married and the father of two. Somehow, even with school, <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton</a> football and family, he鈥檚 kept it all together. Shaquil Barrett with his family (credit: CBS) 鈥淓ven when he was in school, just going to school, waking up every morning, and then going home and taking care of your kids 鈥?and always have 聽a smile on his face through it all 鈥?I鈥檝e never seen this guy ever, ever have a frown or be sad,鈥?Bibbs said. 鈥淚鈥檝e never seen him put other people down or by mean to people. When you鈥檝e got two kids running around the house I鈥檓 sure that can be frustrating sometimes.鈥? 鈥淚 just don鈥檛 let the little stuff get to me,鈥?Barrett said. 鈥淎t a young age I realized the stuff I couldn鈥檛 control. As a kid I used to show my feeling all the time, but I just learned that that stuff just makes you stressed 鈥?I rarely get mad.鈥? Rams head coach Jim McElwain took in a Broncos practice this week. He believes Barrett has to earn his stripes on special teams. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a guy who was a great special teams player for us, never took a play off, and I think that that鈥檚 one of those things that can help him grow into the position of maybe playing linebacker and that type of thing on an everyday basis,鈥?McElwain said. McElwain also knows that nobody should ever doubt Bibbs. 鈥淚 would never bet against Kapri Bibbs. He鈥檚 a guy who has real, true confidence and great physical skills,鈥?McElwain said. 鈥淎s he grows into this position and the things <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Geodkoop Louis Vuitton</a> that you have to do in the National Football League, he鈥檚 a guy who will work at it and work on his craft. So I certainly wouldn鈥檛 bet against him.鈥? Bibbs and Barrett are in a strange new world of the NFL, but at least for now they have each other. They鈥檙e really just a couple of young men trying to live their dreams and have fun doing it. More Broncos Stories
