Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I am watching the box mostly. Seeing how the Oline blocks certain looks or how the running back makes his cuts and what types of decisions he makes. I am also studying their plays based on down and distance so while Im in the game I can try to recognize their formation and get a jump on what play it could be.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My mindset. I am very coachable and can adapt to new concepts and situations easily.

My plan is to get up to 230. And continue to work on speed, plyos and lateral movement to increase my explosiveness.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I will bring a linebacker who can be fully immersed in what the defense and team is doing. I love to study the playbook and get a full understanding of where I fit and what I can do in the defense. They are also getting a tremendous leader who will always put the team before himself.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
All I need is a chance, I am one of the most dedicated players/athlete that you will meet. More importantly I understand what is needed/wanted from me in an organization and I can play several roles in that organization!
