Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I’m watching film I look for the formation the other team is in. Based off their formation, I will visualize myself in the defensive call we are in. Then, I will study route combinations and figure out what the offenses tendencies are. After that, I also like to watch the receivers and how they run their routes vs a man to man or zone defense.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other pro prospects is my work ethic, my motivation, and dedication. I work in silence and let my work do the talking.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
My off-season plan is to stay in game ready shape. Focus on my top end speed, to get more explosive, to gain strength, while also gaining weight as well. I’m preparing myself mentally to be ready for whatever opportunity comes my way so I can put my best foot forward.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I will bring my work ethic and my attention to detail. I’m a focused guy that likes to attack each day with intent to get better. I’m a leader on and off the field, I like to see people get better.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’m an underdog with a lot to prove to myself and the world. I’m hungry and I won’t stop chasing my dream until I get an opportunity. All I need is an opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m going to come in and keep my head down and work to earn a spot on the team. I will play special teams. If you take a chance on me we will make history.
