I study a lot of tendencies for the offensive line and qb that usually give away the type of play and check downs that may follow.

I feel like my ability to play multiple positions due to my speed and strength really give me and edge. And I feel like playing in the CGS elevated my intensity to a level it hasn’t been before.

I am going to train with my team strength and conditioning coach in Alberta.

If you want someone that hates complacency, always strives to increase their effectiveness in the sport of football and keeps his head down with very minimal head clashing between teammates and coaches then I am your guy.
