I’m a dawg, whatever phase of the game it may be such as offense or running down on kickoff to make a tackle I’m going to do what needs to be done.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
I look at the little things, steps, how fast and smooth I’m getting in and out of my routes, my hand placements with blocking, my strikes. It all ties together. Being your biggest critic is important in my opinion. Tape doesn’t lie.

But just treating my body right.

A competitor on and off the field and a doing what the team feels can win games whether it be in the film room or weight room. Being that teammate they need to hopefully make myself and everyone around me better.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
I’d just want to say to take a chance on me. I want to make the best out of any opportunity that comes my way and I’d work to make the most of it, wherever needed. Im focused on my craft and willing to give it my all. I’ve made it my lifestyle because I love this game.
