Earn an opportunity with an NFL team and build a legacy from there.

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

If it’s not my position Pat McAfee, he’s hilarious with what he’s done at ESPN. If it’s an offensive lineman I’d say Zack Martin, just to talk with him and learn from him.

My mom, she’s been through and overcame a lot and watching her do that growing up inspired me to keep going.

Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?

Jerreth Sterns, in 2021 he won the triple crown in receiving but didn’t get an opportunity due to his height in the NFL even though that didn’t really hold him back.
