Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?

The goal I set for my last year was to dominate and win games with my team,I knew coming back with the coaching staff that recruited me about of high school I would get the opportunity and that’s all I ever needed.

Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?

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

Some things I focus on when watching film to improve my game is playing with a low center of gravity so I can get in and out my cuts faster in the back field, also making sure I have good eyes in the pass blocking game when I’m at running to make picking up blitzes easier so when I see it in games it’s moving much slower.

Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?

I believe what separates me from other prospects at my position is my knowledge of the game because of the multiple positions I have played, field vision, speed, and my versatility coming out of the backfield I can legit line up in the slot or outside and run every route on the route tree, and also come in the backfield and run inside zone and be effective in both.

Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?

Right now I’m training at my family gym Mitchfitness in Chicago getting ready for bowl game opportunities. After that train down in Texas focusing on detailing out my game as a RB and focusing on my speed.

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

My strengths I will bring to a team is my work ethic on and off the field and also my personality and my ability to communicate with all of my teammates from any background creating a great work environment.

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

To know Me and my story is to know how I never quit and give up. Even though my college career didn’t go with how I would have wanted due to a lot of different factors. In my one season at Butler and my first opportunity of being able to have the ball in my hands consistently I finished top 5 in the nation in rushing yards. Also I was named OPOY in my conference and lead every statistical category for running backs. I know I didn’t play at a SEC or BIG TEN school but I know with my work ethic and my perseverance I know I can play with the best of them at a HIGH level.
