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

Being from where I’m from in Baltimore City, I wanted to have an outlet to get emotion out as a kid, and also the positivity and opportunities it brings. 

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

Scored a game-winning touchdown in the state championship at 14 years old, 3 catches for 201 yards against Charlotte in 2021, and my first Maryland touchdown against Michigan State.

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

My dream is to play professionally and continue to build relationships with important people and give back to the youth and I want to be a football coach after my career.

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

Jerry Rice, simply because his work ethic was undeniable and he had so much separation from everyone else why not get some knowledge from the greatest of all time?

Which one of your family members inspires you the most and why?

My grandmother, because she made a blueprint for our family and made sacrifices to show that my family could be successful.

What is your favorite offensive scheme and why?

The smash concept, because it gives us the ability to take a chance going high or low. Vertical, because that’s my favorite play just going vertical and getting the ball.

What should we know about Tyrese Chambers the person?

I’m a big family man, I’m big in my community, I’m a follower of Christ, I know how to get stuff done, and can adapt to any environment.

What stands out about your film the most?

My ability to track the ball, my deep threat ability, and my elusiveness.

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

Create a plan, learn from others, be a sponge, be consistent in what you do both in life and on the football field, and keep the main thing, the main thing.

What would a team get in a player like you?

A player who can adapt to any quarterback, scheme, and play any position and an overall playmaker and leader off the field.

What do you love the most about the game of football?

Just the opportunity that it brings, the platform that it’s on to help my family, and what I can do to learn from others and then help the youth.

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

Julius Chestnut, who is playing for the Titans. He’s the most underrated player because of what I’ve seen him do outside of game days is elite and he earned being on the active roster of the Titans but he should’ve been drafted.
