At your position, what separates you from others? 

What separates me is I am not afraid of who ever is lined up across from me because I know going to win the battle/play. I keep over the little things and the big things. Competing and knowing where I stand among others is a must. I love proving to others that I am better and I make my team better.

When you are breaking down film, what do you look for?

As a wide out I look for where the defense is lacking. By doing that this makes it easier to expose them by better play calling. Finding open spots in another teams game plan is what I look for.

I weakness is my fear of defeat. From a team or personal stand point I do not like losing

If I were a GM and gave you a second to sell yourself, what would you say?

Calvin Johnson was my favorite player. My favorite team are the Colts
