Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?

I’m big on technique , I watch to make sure I’m not taking too many steps out my break , Also making sure I don’t get to high in my back peddle and things like that. If I’m watching my opponent I’m looking for tendencies that may let me know what route they are about to run , how they line up and stuff like that.

Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL/CFL or any other pro leagues?

I’m someone that’s going to go hard every play rather it be special teams or defense , and your gonna get my all. I feel like I can come in and make the team better. You wouldn’t regret giving me a call.
