Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
Before the season, I set out goals to be a better teammate and preform better than I did last season. I feel like I achieved both of those goals.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say I’m team guy who is always willing to use his talents and effort anywhere needed. A shifty tailback who isn’t afraid to play special teams.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film, I tend to focus on defensive fronts and leverages to be able to identify certain blitzes and see where certain runs may hit. Also, I look at secondary alignment for man or zone giveaways.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I believe my mix of vision, speed, suddenness, hands, and agility are traits that separate me. My ability as a receiver makes me versatile out of the backfield.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Working out day-to-day and making sure I’m staying ready for whatever opportunity presents itself. Will be in different areas training for events accordingly.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I will bring high energy to a team. My effort and discipline could spark those around me to be better everyday. Also, I bring a reliable option as a playmaker in the run or pass game out of the backfield. I add special teams value as well – KR/KO/PB
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
Lets go, I’m ready to work.
