When we are down in the game and the offense isn’t putting it together and we take it one down at a time and go out there and execute.

How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

I basically just chalk it up to God and go out there and have an approach.

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

Maxx Crosby, because the guy is unbelievable and he has a motor like mine and the way he goes out there and executes. I would love to have a day with him.
