Press Conference (Baron Browning) Elite Edition August 2

Quick game, you're not going to get there.

So, you know, just get your hands up.

I think it's just more of a field thing.

Zach, in particular, seems really good at that.

Are there certain things that you think he does well in that area?

No, yeah, Zach is definitely good at that.

And, you know, I think that's something the interior is very good at as a whole, just getting your hands up.

Aaron, what's been your impression of Jonah Ellis now with a few months working with

him? You know, Jonah got a lot of natural skill.

I think his upside is very high.

But, I mean, like any rookie, you know, there's a learning curve.

from playing, coming from college in the NFL.

So I think he's just going to continue to develop and continue to get better.

I mean, I'm happy with what I've seen, but I mean, obviously I know he has high expectations for himself and not only him, but our whole unit.

So I'm just, like I said, excited to see him keep going.

What's

the most challenging aspect of that learning curve for you, for you when you came into the league or really, I guess year two?

I think the biggest thing was switching from inside to outside.

I mean, inside you five yards off the ball kind of versus edge you right there with somebody in your face.

So, just kind of learning how to just that change up.

And I think just learning how to, you know, get off the ball, you know, inside you have time to read outside.

You don't have that much time to read.

You have to be kind of very decisive.

So just getting reps or that, you know, that was the biggest thing that had me.

And I think that'd be something that helped Jonas too, just getting reps, the more reps you get, the better you'll get.

Aaron, can you talk about your relationship with Jonathan Cooper and how you guys, how your camaraderie kind of forms your relationship?

Oh yeah, that's, that's my dog.

I mean, I played with him four years at Ohio state.

So I think just, you know, Being at a place like Ohio State together and going through that hard training and then making it out on the other side, I think we're just able to hold each other to that standard and not afraid to hurt one another's feelings if we don't live up to that standard.

He knows how to push my buttons.

I know how to push his buttons.

I'm grateful to have him as a teammate.

It's very rare you get to play with somebody from your college.

How

much experimenting do

you get to do this time of year, especially with the day? other how you communicate all

that I think it's just the time you learn to rush as a D-line you know this is a perfect time for us just to learn how to rush together I mean you know we meet together you know you ask the guy who's to your side you know what you're thinking on this play and film so you just kind of get a feel for it when that scenario pops up on the practice field or in the game and just creating that dialogue is I think it's the biggest thing and asking questions so Aaron, you've got a back-to-school drive on Sunday.

Can you tell us a little more about it? Yeah.

Don't hurt it against me if I can't say too much because I've been focused on training camp.

So my publicist and my agent's kind of been doing a lot of the leg work and my mom.

But, yeah, we're just going to have a big event out here Sunday, I believe, up there in the parking lot.

We're going to have a Kona ice machine, some jump houses.

We're going to be donating backpacks, I think over 150 backpacks for the kids for the upcoming school year with supplies.

a bunch of different things.

But just trying to get the kids excited for going back to school and obviously helping our families who might not be fortunate enough to buy their kids the supplies they need for school.

So just trying to do what I can to help out my community here in Denver.

Tell
