Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
When watching film on opponents, I focus on things such as the way they line up in formations from the linemen to receivers, running backs and the quarterback alignment and spacing can give you an idea of what play is being run during your presnap reads. Also learning your opponents too, plays and sets. Learning who their go to guys are and prepping myself mentally for the whole matchup. Studying your opponents makes the game a lot easier and you are able to flow much faster. Watching myself on film I look for things to critic myself and improve making me a better player and teammate.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
Film study, I am one of the smartest football players at my position. The game of football is more of a mental game than physical. I have a bigger desire, want too, and a bigger why. My heart is unmatched when it comes to the game of football I am a guy that will leave everything I have on the field without question.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
The strengths and abilities that would stand out would be that I have a very strong work ethic, I am vocal and a natural born leader, leading by example, I am humble because I know my strengths and weaknesses, and I am coachable.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL or any other pro leagues?

I am versatile, coachable, and will give all that I have on and off the field. My love for the game allows me to expand my knowledge as I progress onward. My passion for the game allows me to be selfless putting the team before myself. My want too, why, and heart allows me to push through and defeat any task given at hand to the best of my abilities. Given the chance I would not disappoint.
