At the beginning of the interview, Surtain talked about the acquisition of his former collegiate roommate, Jaylen Waddle. "That's my guy," said Surtain to Edelman. "I think it makes the team better as a whole.
Bringing in a guy like (Waddle), what he's able to bring and showcase, it's going to be exciting to watch. " Shortly after the trade was announced, Surtain appeared in Waddle's Instagram story in a video call as the two college teammates reunited. “Bringing in a guy like that… it’s gonna be exciting”⁰ @PatSurtainll Reacts to the Jaylen Waddle trade for the @Broncos and talks @Alabama Football 🏈 pic.
