What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
My main goal this season was to do everything in my power to help my team win games and set myself up with an opportunity to go to the next level.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
I took advantage of the extra year by developing my game on a technical level. I furthered my knowledge of the game vastly, and learned how to apply that to on-field performance. Also, I used this time to get stronger, faster and more mobile.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say I’m someone they can always count on to make a timely play. They would also say I’m a great athlete and hard worker who shows up early every day, leaves late.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film, I look for the subtle nuances of my game that I can continuously improve on. I also look for opposing team’s tendencies so that I can be one step ahead during the game.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other prospects is my natural hands, athleticism, work ethic/hunger, as well as attention to detail in routes & blocking. I also run a 4.41 official 40, which will allow my game to translate at the next level.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
This offseason I plan to train with my pro receiver trainer Donte Davis. He will continue to develop my game as a receiver. I also will be working with a mobility coach to take initiative in taking care of my body, which many athletes overlook.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My ability to be a playmaker will stand out on the field. Off the field, I show up to work everyday with a positive outlook, ready to focus and prepare. I am also someone teammates can look to for help. I consider myself a leader through action.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
No matter what situation I am put in, I make plays. I am a versatile receiver with speed, explosiveness and a great catch radius. Versatility is something I focus on, so I value being able to run all the routes and make all the tough catches. I also take pride in special teams, as well as preparation throughout the practice week.
