What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?

Growing up all I can remember is just holding a football man and as I got older I started to realize what football was and I started to watch it. The first player that stood out to me was Randy Moss, he changed the game for me just seeing him dominate on such a level gave me so many dreams and ambitions.

What are you looking to achieve as a football player going forward?

Going forward I plan on just becoming the best player I can be to the organization that picks me up. Just putting my head down and learning whatever I can, whenever I can. I also want to start my own charity for orphans, because children deserve to have parents it weakens me to see children with our parents. Parents are so important for the lives of children.
