Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I set my goal to win a conference championship which we did not accomplish. I never had any personal goals because I wanted to keep the main the thing the main thing. I knew that I would have to play at a high level in order for us to do that so whatever stats came with that I would be satisfied.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and players would say that I have a very high football IQ and I am very detail oriented. The small things are the difference in close games to give you the edge.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film I first critique myself for self improvement. How I can be more efficient in my movement. Then I study any advantages I can gain for the QBs rhythm on the cadence so I can time up blitzes or read offensive line tendencies. Then I look at what situations does the offensive coordinator like to run certain plays.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from the rest of the prospects is my work ethic and my football IQ. I have a natural instinct for finding the football.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I will be training with my trainer back at my hometown to prepare for any combine opportunities or tryouts that I may be blessed with.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My athletic abilities allow me to run sideline to sideline and I also have the ability to be a good leader both on and off the field.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I am someone who will come into your organization with integrity as well as a work ethic and want to play the game at a high level. As long as I do that God will lead the rest of my path.
