Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
Coaches and teammates would say I am a receiver that will go get the ball in any situation. I can make those big plays when needed while also bringing good energy to the team and uplifting the whole team.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film I focus on ways to improve my routes the most efficient way. How to not be choppy or lose ground while running routes. At the next level every step counts.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My ability to go get the ball is what separates me. While also being a smart player as well. I use my smarts and ball skills to get the ball whether the defender is dropped all over me or not.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
My offseason plan is to get my body to 100% and then learn to run clean routes while also gaining knowledge from people I know that are in the league pick their brain and take some of those things and add them to my game.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
On the field my strengths are that no matter what is going on I will show up. I have been through a lot of things throughout my career and one thing I can say is I continued to show up everyday. And a great locker room guy off the field I connect with my teammates and coaches very well.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
My final pitch is that I am a guy that just needs a chance and I will handle the rest. I’m not asking for a silver spoon or it to be handed to me. I just need a chance and the rest will be taken care of.
