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

When studying film I look at all the wrong things that I’m doing to improve my skills. Even if I made a great play, I look to see what could I have done better. When studying my opponent I look for there strengths and weaknesses. Does the linemen give up the pull read, how the HB is aligned, and the different formations that the offense have favorite plays they consistently run.

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

I would say handling adversity very well. When things don’t turn out how you want them to, you have to always remain to course. A lot of people give up and let adversity get the best of them. Character is the most important part of handling adversity. This is what separates me from others in 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?

My athleticism will bring a lot to the team. Also my work ethic and the ability to complete any task to the best of my ability. I have a funny personality and positive energy when I am around others. Off the field my character is good representation of who I am and how I carry myself as well. No matter if it is performing community service or etc.

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

I will be a great asset to any Pro team there is. I will work hard to the best of my ability no matter the circumstances.
