When I watch film on myself I like to critique myself heavily. I start off with watching my steps, then I’ll observe my pad level and if I got my head across. footwork and body placement is an essential part of football. When studying my opponent I study their feet, hand, and overall speed, as well as their tendencies, blow delivery and motor.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?

If granted the opportunity to show what I do, I will not let you down!! You’re getting a player who trusts the process and that is coachable. I’m very prideful in what I do, I will give you my all every rep.
