Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I’m studying film I’m watching what they like to do out of different formations, the alignment of the receivers and their tendencies as well is watching all of the different route combinations they like to run out of formations and I also watch the right tackle and left tackle because I playin the slot to and still have to be of support of the run as well depending on what coverage I’m in, but I’m watching if those lineman are down blocking or pass protecting but still being I’m pass first run later and I also look at different ways to disguise the coverage I am in and bait opposing players into making mistakes.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me is that I play on the outside and play in the slot, I can cover Tight Ends and I’m willing to get in the trenches and make tackles and don’t shy away from contact when covering Tight Ends, I love the contact, I’m a physical player and watch film day in an day out I understand 90% of the game is played in your mind 10% played with your body I enjoy the process or just football weather its film working out or stepping on the field I want to do things to get me better every day.

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
All I can say is you’ll be getting a player that will be doing whatever he needs to help the team. All I need is a shot from a team to show them what I’m capable of and bring to the table.
