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

I set a lot of goals for myself but the main one was becoming more of a leader. I helped young teammates get better on and off the field. I also showed them how to practice or play with grit and relentless effort.

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

My coaches and teammates would say three things. He always catches the ball, he is a tough warrior type guy, and whenever you need that big play he will be there to make it.

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

When watching film I try to not compare and only focus on what I could have done better. I will go into a coaches office so I can be constructively critiqued and I can hear another perspective of what they see in me.

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

What separates me from the other prospects is my hands, body type, strength, and athleticism. My size I can play almost any position. I can be utilized in any spot and I have played multiple positions in college. Quarterback, punt return, corner, slot receiver, outside receiver and more special teams.

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

My off-season plan is to continue to get stronger and smarter. While there is a big break between my pro day and draft day I plan to stay in football shape. Being top notch conditioned and strong as well. Also watching film on successful NFL athletes.

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 the grit and relentlessness to a team. I didn’t always have the best opportunities when it came to football but I paved a way. I did not let anybody stop me on or off the field from getting in the way of my goals.

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

My film, words, and stats matchup with everything I have said. I know that if I am giving the chance I see it as if it could end tomorrow. Not only will I give it my all but I will always be on my grind. No matter if I’m 5 years in or 2 months in.
