Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
I believed that this can be a great opportunity to get good film and to show people what I can really do. I know I have the talent of a pro athlete and I want to show as much of that as I can.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
From my coaches and teammates, they would say that I am a huge playmaker. Every time I get the ball I make a big play, I am humbled and always ready for any competition and not fazed by anything.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
To improve my game on film I look at my footwork and I look at the offensive line on how they are blocking so I can read the holes and cut back lanes.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from the other prospect is that I believe that I’m the best out, and have great vision on the field. I have good balance and quick feet.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
My off-season plan is training at a facility and to get better with my speed and strength so I can dominate the competition.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
For any team that will give me a chance I will show you that I have speed, agility, strength, and great awareness on the field. Im quick and light on my feet and I make good hard cuts on a dime. I’m consistent every week, there will never be a bad week from me or a bad game. Once a team sees the talent I have, they will be proud that they got me.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’ve been dreaming of opportunity to play on the NFL or anywhere professionally since I was 6 years old. I believe that this is what I was put on earth to do. I was always the best player in my position and I want to show that I belong in the league.
