The artist Kanye West raps “hard to be humble when you stuntin’ on a jumbotron,” In Greg Dulcich‘s case, he went from a walk-on to Day 2 draft pick playing college football at UCLA in Chip Kelly’s NFL-style offense, but there’s actually ironic reasoning explaining how the TE knew early in college that he’d reach the NFL.
Dulcich was drafted on Day 2 of the draft last month. He’ll be expected to produce in the Denver Broncos’ offense alongside Russell Wilson in Year 1.
When asked about being a walk-on in college last week, Dulcich said, “When you walk on, there is this stigma that you don’t belong. What’s cool is Coach Kelly at UCLA, he never had that environment. It was always just [that] you’ll get a chance to get your foot on the field and just do what you do and make a name for yourself. Sure enough, I was given the opportunity to do so, and it got me here.”
