He says he refused and left before the quarterback arrived.Furthermore, he claims he participated in two &quot;sham&quot; interviews as teams looked to comply with the Rooney Rule, which mandates that every team must interview a minority candidate for head coach, general manager and top assistant coach positions when looking to fill a vacancy.The NFL, Dolphins, Giants and Broncos all released statements denying the claims.
