Bronson Kaufusi couldn’t stop smiling when he stepped to the podium during last week’s minicamp.
The massive defensive end was just happy to be talking and playing football again. A broken ankle cost Kaufusi his entire rookie season, but the third-round pick is now completely healthy and competing for a starting job on Baltimore’s defense.
“I love this game. I love everything about it, being with my teammates, all of that,” Kaufusi said. “I cannot wait to get out there; I can’t tell you. It’s that constant fire in me that’s burning always.”
The 6-foot-6, 285-pound defender out of BYU suffered the injury early in last year’s training camp before he could even play in a preseason game.
