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

Things I focus on would be how the Defensive Line plays and how they come off the ball, any tendencies, how they deal with certain situations whether that is pass or run. I also look at LB and how they flow against the run, how well they react to different runs if it’s inside zone, mid zone, or power. also look at what plays other teams ran well against my opponent that week so I can know how they were so successful. I also look for the plays that didn’t work the best lalso look for any blitzes or stunts that are ran by the defenses and how other teams picked them up or which ones gave them problems. Lastly I would say I look at other centers and how they blocked certain things and different techniques they used that I can use in the game against my opponent or games to come.

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