Draft Diamonds Free Agent Interview: Ross Robertson III, Running Back

Hello, I am @jrberendzen on Twitter and this is one of my free agent interviews where I ask very deserving free agents questions about the players themselves and about what a team would get in these players. All of these players should get picked up by NFL and CFL teams and get a shot at being a career football player. So I hope you all read this interview here. Make sure you follow Ross Robertson III’s journey, check him out on Twitter, @rae3rd

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

4.What is your favorite workout?

Legs- anything that has to do with lower body. 

5.What are your favorite moments from your football life?

Every practice I’ve attended – every game – every workout- most importantly the moments my daughter attends workouts with me and sits and watches while she screams ( GO DADDY!! YAY!) that makes all of this worth it. 

6.If you were on an island and could only have three things which three things would you have?

Clothes, my Bible, and a magnifying glass or a mirror to start a fire, feel warm, and be able to cook.

7. If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day who and why?

Barry Sanders. Why? To be able to pick his brain a little bit and get any advice as a running back that I could from him to help improve my game. 

8.What made you decide to be a football player?

Honestly? At first it was what it took to be one. Meaning the “process of becoming a football player”, then when I realized what it could do for not only my family but the impact I can have and will have on others in a positive way that’s what kept me going. I love the challenge it comes with. 

9.What do you do for fun?

I’ve been a musician since I was 3 years old, so I love to play the piano when I’m not doing anything else. 

10.What would a team get in a player like you?

Consistency, effort and A team leader.

11.What is your biggest challenge in life?

Being a father. 

12.If your life was a tv show what would you call it and why?

God’s way – why? Because that’s how I would start the story of my life.
