What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
The goals I set were to be All Conference and an All American Wide Receiver and Punt Returner. I earned all conference for both positions and was selected as a Tropical Bowl All American for both positions.
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 showing my skills as an outside receiver, punt returner, and most importantly an elite blocker.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say I am a great leader and mainly lead by example. They would also say I am the quickest player on the field.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film I focus on the defensive backs keys when they are playing different coverages. I do this to recognize patterns in schemes that the defense runs.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I am the quickest receiver in the country, but the main thing that separates me is my unselfishness. Unselfishness in my ability to run off DBs to let another receiver get open and block down field so that we may be put in the best situation to score.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I am training at Performance 80 Fitness Studio with Multi-Certified Trainer Christopher Huff.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My quickness on the field in my ability to get in and out of routes while reading coverages is my best attribute. Off the field you will have a proven community and social leader that takes pride in replenishing the world.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
People will wonder why you took a chance on me. They will ponder what your reasoning was. But I assure you that you are making the best decision for your organization by selecting the most unselfish player in the country to be apart of your program.
