Physical, Tough, Competitive.

I am currently training in Chicago 6 days a week at IHP (institute for human performance) with some really great trainers to be physically and mentally ready for any opportunity that comes my way.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
Any tendencies that the defensive line does across the board from specific moves to how they line up and I also watch for how hard they work.
Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
My knowledge of the game creates the ability to adapt and learn whatever it is that I need to do. I believe I’m extremely physical and provide a presence to the offensive line, I also think that I’m versatile and can be a swing tackle and guard in the NFL. I can also snap.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I have a strong sense of passion and love for the game of football. I can bring that same energy to any team. I am competitive and love working with teammates towards one goal and that goal is always championships. Off the field, I believe that I am a high character, kind guy who cares about people and community.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
I would say all I need is an opportunity, my journey to this point has been filled with ups and downs, but I’m ready to be a great teammate and ready to continue to grow physically and mentally. I would also say don’t miss the boat.
