What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2024 NFL Draft

My ability to get upfield with my twitch and quickness in pass rush situations and run stunts with different combinations of power and speed moves. My knowledge and experience give me confidence that I can go into the NFL right away and contribute to whatever team decides to draft me.

  2. Lebron James – I want to know his mindset towards health and sustainability. Also, what he does is to always be ready to perform in big moments. I have a bunch of questions to ask about the big games he was in and what his thought process was like. 
  3. Aaron Donald – I would talk to him about how he transformed his body from college to now and how he stays consistent year after year with all the success he’s had.
