Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I am studying film, I look at offensive linemen habits as well as the backfield set while paying attention to the down and distance. Are they leaning? Is their weight shifted on their heels? Are they in a two point stance? Do they vertical or quick set in pass pro? Empty formation? 3rd and long? Second and short? Keys like this in film really slow down the game and helps make me play faster.

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
What you see is what you get with me. If a team wants a hard-working athlete… I am the guy… I’m not the flashy prospect, but I’m the under dog that gets the job done and has a chip on his shoulder while doing it. The guy who has never been handed anything, has earned everything. That’s why you should take a chance on me.
