Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
Some goals I had accomplished was to have more sacks than the previous season but a lot of my goals were crushed halfway through the season when I messed up my finger. Ultimately I was still excited to win more than 10 games with my team and win a bowl championship.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
I believe my teammates and coaches would say I’m a field general and I communicate great.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I’m watching film I like to critique all of the little stuff I mess up on like taking the right steps, keeping my hands inside, bending the corner on pass rush, things like that.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I think what separates me from other people at my position is I know what’s going on in the offense, the ability to read the offensive line and formation they are in determines what they are running.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I’m living in Athens where I went to school so I’m training here right now cooking my own meals I planned to stay here and train with my strength coach.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I think what would stand out on and off the field is that I love people no matter how mad or aggressive I look in the game, I still love human beings and I love to help people out anyway that I can.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
My final pitch is I may not have had the stats that I wanted to or played 3-4 years like I wanted too, but Im a great athletic player who can stand up or put my hand in the dirt and get after the quarterback. Im a steal for whatever team lands me.
