Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
When studying film on opponents, I love to find a consistent weakness, also love to study tendencies and tells if any are shown.
Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
My speed and physicality at the point of attack allow me to standout at my position.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I think a strength I have that I can bring to another team is not only can a team line me up at strong or weak-side backer, but they can also allow me to be a stand-up end, like Von Miller and allow me to go get the quarterback off the edge and pass rush.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
When considering me as a potential player, I’m the gem people miss out on trying to find something better. I am coachable, dependable, committed, and a great special teams player. My versatility allows me to fit into different schemes. I believe I’d be a great addition to anyone’s team.
