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

I wanted to have a better season than I did last year, I believe I did, and I wanted to capitalize on some of my strengths and weaknesses I identified last year.

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

They would say I am a leader, and a good role model for some of my young teammates to follow and learn from

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

When I watching film I look for tendencies, I look for little hints that all players have to let me know what’s coming, what they’re going to do. Then when it’s game time I know what to expect.

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

I think I’m separated by both my physicality in my position and my speed. I have the ability to pancake a player, and run a route and win against a DB the next.

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

I am working out on the same workout plan that has gotten me this far, and I am following my calories to make sure I am maintaining my weight.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?

Some strengths and abilities I bring to a team on and off the field are a mixture of a leader and someone people can befriend on the team. Someone to hold others accountable while also bringing them together.

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

All I need is a shot. Just one shot to tell them my story and let my abilities speak for themselves. I truly believe I can play on any team, and I’m willing to prove it anytime anywhere.
