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

The strengths and abilities that I will bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field are a player that is willing to learn how to become a professional, will put the team and organization needs and wants before self, and just a hard working, respectful, and a hungry young man that is willing to prove his worth each and everyday.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
