What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?
I’ve really been in love with the sport since I was young sitting down watching NFL games.
What are you looking to achieve as a football player going forward?
Just really establishing a name for myself a lot of people don’t know about me or my skill set because I came from a small school.
What stands out about your film the most?
My quickness and speed being my size a lot of people don’t expect that from me.
How are you planning to prepare for the draft?
Working out in Pennsylvania with Grossetti sports perfect for my pro day and then after pro day I’m working out in Vegas at home.
How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?
Just going at it head on, you can’t defer from challenges and a coach gave me that mindset so I take all obstacles head on.
