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

Natural instincts in the box, reading the offensive line movement quickly, and extremely physical at the point of attack.

Training at D1 in Dallas, Texas w/ my LB trainer Zaviar Gooden.

Just need an opportunity and you’ll never look back. Biggest sleeper in 2019.
