Introduced as the newest member of the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, Elvis Dumervil says he'll play with a "brick wall" on his shoulder after being asked to take a pay cut by the Denver Broncos before being released after a paperwork folly.
"I think at times in life you deal with people who say you can't do this or you shouldn't do that. In this world, you have to prove a point and prove yourself. I'm all about that. Year in, year out, that's what drives me. I like to go in as a rookie every year, where you have to prove yourself. I have a chip on my shoulder, I may have a brick wall now. I'm so excited. I can't wait to get out with the guys and really compete," Dumervil said.
He will wear No. 58 with the Ravens, which he wore in college when he played for Louisville.
