Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?

Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When looking at my game, I can improve on having cleaner stops at the top of my routes as well as blocking better in the run game.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other prospects is the ability to get separation in my routes using my twitch and speed. My background playing division 1 lacrosse has aided with this and you can see the carry over onto the football field. For this last season, I fully dedicated myself to football by not playing lacrosse in the spring, and is something I can credit for the big jump that I made for this season.

My plan this offseason is to get as explosive and fast as possible, while also trying to add 5-10 pounds.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I think my focus and dedication to my craft is what helps me stand out on and off the field. I like to view myself as a very reliable person and if you need to get something done I am good for the job.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
With the jump I made this year, I feel as if I showcased my ability to separate in my routes and bring a different style of playing receiver that brings value to a team. My hardworking nature helped me get to the point I’m and I will continue bring that attitude day in and day out.
