OU football: All access shows another side of Ryan Broyles

ESPN’s All Access show with OU football revealed a different side of Ryan Broyles. Since emerging as a superstar, Broyles has shown a pleasant, low-key personality that belies his ultra-competitive nature on the field. But in the hour-long show Tuesday night, Broyles seemed to be king of the talkers. The offense’s answer to Travis Lewis.

Now, you never know what someone really is like. When a camera shows up, some people turn the personality down, some turn it up. Some are the same. And editing could go either way. I guy could talk for three minutes total over three weeks, and all three minutes make the cut. A guy could talk for 30 minutes a day, and it all ends up in the scrap heap. So who knows?

But in the show, Broyles was all over his defensive teammates, talking smack after catches during practice.

I found that wildly interesting. Especially after our man Mike Baldwin’s interesting story from a few days ago on how Broyles doesn’t like to get close to people. http://newsok.com/sooners-ryan-broyles-cant-be-touched/article/3594830?custom_click=rss You’d think a guy who gets claustrophobic in the huddle would stay as far away as possible from anyone. But there was Broyles, jawing right in teammates’ faces.
