What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

Jeremiah McNair is that guy that’s gone show up early, leave late, give you everything he gets on & off the field, and flat out be a ball player in all phases on the field! 

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

I would donate to a cancer society because I lost my grandpa to cancer. 

Who was your role model?

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?

Hardest moment I overcame was my new college coach sitting me out for five games with no explanation on why. I kept my head high, believing in myself & God’s timing. Who knew that I would became the #1 player in the conference in Interceptions(with 4) despite me only playing in the last five games of the season! That was nothing but God & I thank him for sticking with me when times got hard!

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

My grandpa, Brian Dawkins & my mother. My grandpa because he was my everything, that father figured I didn’t have growing up! Brian Dawkins because I love that guy, the love he had, the motor he had on the field & just the DOG he was! I would love to get some knowledge from him! And lastly, my mother because she is my everything, there’s nothing I wouldn’t want to do without that lady on my side!

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness would be how big my heart is. Sometimes I will let people get away with things I shouldn’t or I tend to do stuff for people knowing they wouldn’t do it back for me, just because of the kind of heart I have & the type of person I am.
