Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
I’m a big tendencies guy, I feel like they can help you gain an edge on opponents. I also love to see what opposing receivers like and what they don’t like. I like to get them off of their game and what they do best, so that in the first couple of series, I can change their game play to how I want them to play and making it as uncomfortable as I possibly can for them.
Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
I would say my height and length with a combination of my athleticism would be the biggest thing that separates me. Also, I played Safety my first two years in college which shows my versatility as a Defensive Back.

On the field, I can bring a friendly competitive spirit to work everyday to bring the best out of me and my teammates. Off the field, I feel as if I am a greater selfless person than I am a football player.
