Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
It depends what I am watching. If I am watching film on an opponent, I try to gain an understanding of their formations and what they run out of them, observe the players to see if they have any tells pre snap. If I’m watching myself post game, I try to focus more on my technique and see how I can better my game.

My elusiveness, I have a great ability of finding the ball no maker what it takes to get there.

Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
If you take me, you are going to get a guy who will do anything for the team. You are going to get a guy who will not be out worked. You are going to get a God fearing man that will represent the franchise the right way on and off the field.
