My goals coming into my final collegiate season was to improve to become more elite and more versatile as a player. Although I’ve always been versatile, I can always improve on polishing my game to be the best I can be. Also, I wanted to improve my grades because I believe that it helps you on the field. I believe that it shows that I still can get better as a player on the field and that I haven’t peaked.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?

On the field, I have great IQ. I can read coverages very good and find holes to get open. I have the ability to twerk my body to make the tough catch and I’m a team player which means that I am a winner. I am a big 3rd down and Red Zone guy. Those are my strengths. I believe that I can help a team get to the big game which is the Super Bowl. Also, I believe I can be an even better brother, father, and son off the field. I always feel that I can improve.
