Agim finds relief with Elway's call

FAYETTEVILLE -- It all happened so quickly for McTelvin Agim late Friday night.

While watching the late third round of the NFL Draft, he stepped outside of his family home in Texarkana, Texas, to grab some fresh air just before 10:30 p.m.

Then his phone rang, and the voice on the line told him to hang on for Denver Broncos President and General Manager John Elway.

The Broncos had made Agim, the former defensive tackle for the University of Arkansas, their third-round selection and the 95th pick of the draft.

"I'm not going to say it was intimidating, but it's like he's one of the greatest ever," Agim said Saturday afternoon.
