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

I am not the loud outgoing player on the field, Instead I lead by example and instill confidence and motivation Into my teammates by playing and by talking to them when I see they need it. Off the field I am a hardworker and I am determined to prove people wrong.

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

I’ve learned to look at little details some people may not look at, such as player tendencies or even the coaches tendencies in terms of play calling. I will watch the way a QB moves his hands pre snap to see if it’s a pas la or run. I will watch to see where a WR lines up on the field to know what route concepts I am getting. I get I to detail watching film to get a step ahead. Knowing what they will do slows the game down for me.

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

My speed separates me. With my size and being able to move as fast as I do, and being able to keep up with slot receivers is an advantage for me and the defense because I am able to be one the field in every package we have on defense.

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

I plan on working with a trainer and nutritionist to prepare my body for the professional world of football in order to be prepared for pro day and any chances I get after that.

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 grit and determination on and off the field. I am very competitive and do not like to lose in as nothing that I’m doing. I will always try to outwork anyone else that is against me.

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

I’m coming from a D2 school so I know I am not at the top of your radar, but I promise you, taking a chance on me will be like hitting the lottery for you. I will make your team better wherever you need me to and if you just believe in me I will show you and the rest of world what I can do.
