Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
Tendencies. I break film down based on down and distance and watch the matchup I’m going against that said week. I want to see if they play hard all 4 downs or just the first couple plays in the drive. I also do a lot of outside research of all the DBs I’m playing that week just to really know what I’m going against.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me is my athleticism, I’ve played tight end majority of my college career but this year I flexed to outside receiver and felt like I didn’t skip a beat.

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
You will get an individual who will give you his all. Whatever role I am in I will do my part to prepare others or make sure I’m prepared in all facets. My determination will never let me settle for being just okay. My goal is to be the best version I can be each and every week and become a great teammate in the process.
