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

I watch every aspect of my game whenever I win a rep I go back and analyze what exact steps and move I hit so I can then see what works best for me and perfect it. More importantly when I could’ve done better on a rep or lost a rep I zero in on what exactly I did wrong so I won’t make the same mistake twice.

I’m the best defensive player in this years draft class and I firmly and wholeheartedly heartedly believe that and in myself. My size and athleticism is far and few between not a lot of guys my size can move the way I do. What separates me from the rest is how I watch film and pick up other teams and players tendencies whether it be how I change my alignment a little bit to get a better rush or reading the personnel to get a gauge on what type of play the other team is about to run.
