He also added that it's crunch time to get set for the NFL draft.

"I'm super thankful and blessed for everybody's support and for them to take the time and come out here and see me and talk to me and get an autograph.  It means a lot and it's very special. I'm busy with visits and stuff like that you gotta work here and the structure is the same."

Boise State will hold its annual Pro Day Tuesday on campus with 9 players going thru workouts, measurements, and testing.
