While certainly pleased to be honored, he felt he could have been first-team.

He also knows that wherever he goes in the draft, he will be ready to play for that team.  He has been projected to get picked somewhere between the fourth and sixth rounds, depending on the source.  That still does not deter Dunbar from his beliefs.

“Wherever I get drafted, I still think I am a good player.  I don’t look too much into the projections.  Whatever comes your way, you have to go with it.  Once the draft is over, it’s all water under the bridge.”

Once in his destination, Dunbar’s only concern is helping that team win.  He also knows a rookie’s place on the team.  “My number one goal is to make the playoffs.  If special teams is how I can contribute, than that’s what I’ll do.  In the NFL you have to earn your right to play.”

With a career at Boston College that included four bowl wins, Dunbar has been accustomed to winning in his playing career.  If he has anything to say about it, that trend will continue.
