Garcia's character, mindset shine through

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Max Garcia knows that passive play doesn't have a place between the lines.

"When you’re playing in the trenches, there’s no room for a nice guy on the field," the Broncos' fourth-round pick said Saturday on a conference call with Denver media. "You’ve got to be mean, you’ve got to be aggressive.

"...But you don’t have to take that with you off the field."

The DT-mauling interior lineman is just the opposite outside of football, offering his time and giving back to the community. As a senior at Florida, he was given the Gene Elleson Community Service Award for his off-the-field work.
