It’s fair to say Kelvin Beachum experienced a bit of a culture shock this week in one of the world’s busiest cities.
While in New York for pre-draft responsibilities, the offensive lineman from Southern Methodist spent a few minutes to chat with Pro Player Insiders. Having his mother, who has been to the Big Apple previously, alongside helped the small-town Texas native navigate the ins and outs of Manhattan.
“I’ve never been exposed to stuff like this,” Beachum told PPI, “so I’m just having fun.”
Beachum is at his father’s auto shop in Texas—far from the bright lights of New York—working and watching the draft in his hometown this weekend. He mentioned Ray Lewis, Haloti Ngata, Jeff Saturday, Joe Thomas and Jason Peters as NFL players he admires.
