Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?

When it comes to watching film on my opponent I look for tendencies. I try to see if they stance changes from when its a run or a pass, how late do they get off the ball, and also what do they stance and their pre-snap eyes look like before they ate about to pull.

I am a very athletic DT I can stop the run and also rush the passer, I have great fast feet and hands, and i know how to get off blocks and get to the ball sideline to sideline.

My plan is to continue to get better at my craft, gain like 10-15 more pounds, and also train with a former teammate that knows what it takes to get to the next level, and stay there.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?

I would be brining to a team a DT that can play any down from 1-3 short or long because I can stop the run but also rush the passer when Its time to do so.

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?

I am the most sideline to sideline DT you will see I can stop the run snd also go get sacks when we earn the right to pass rush. Athletic with great feet, and I have a high IQ about the game.
