What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?

What makes me a top prospect at my position is a combination of qualities. First, I am highly coachable, receptive to constructive criticism, and able to build on it. I am also versatile—I can catch out of the backfield, line up in the slot, and return punts and kicks. My open-field ability with the ball in my hands, combined with my speed and quickness, truly sets me apart.

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

NFL teams should know they’re getting a hardworking individual both on and off the field. I’m a well-mannered young man who comes from a strong household and a supportive family.

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

I would donate to causes addressing poverty. Growing up in Miami, FL, I witnessed poverty firsthand—I come from it. I’ve seen talented and intelligent people unable to achieve their goals because they lacked resources, opportunities, or proper guidance. I was fortunate to make it out of poverty, and I want to give others the same chance.

Who was your role model?

It’s hard to choose just one. My mother, who is incredibly strong and hardworking, has been a huge influence. My stepfather and biological father are two great men who helped shape me. My grandfather, my Little League and high school coaches (Tyrone Douglas, Pearson Sutton, Corvin Lamb, and Anthony Walker), and the entire Monsignor Edward Pace High School coaching staff have all played major roles in my development. Even my barber, JD, deserves a shoutout. These individuals have all contributed to the man I am today—hands down.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

I’ve always been a Peyton Manning fan, so wherever Peyton went, I followed. Since his retirement, I don’t have a favorite team—I just enjoy the game.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

I feel like everyone at my school was overlooked and underrated. However, that receiving core—featuring Errol Breaux, Quintus Reid, Jordan Mason, and Kameron Phuong—was pretty special. Straight DAWGS.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Hearing people chew their food, also known as “smacking.” It really grinds my gears.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

That’s a tough one, but I’d say Mr. Halstead Smith, my 5th-grade teacher.

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

The hardest moment was finishing a season and semester after learning I had lost my oldest brother. That was the toughest and most confusing year of my life. I’m thankful for my teammates and coaches at Dean College for helping me through it.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house, what would it be?

Chick-Fil-A, easily.

What is your favorite snack food?

“Organic” fruit snacks.

What is your degree in?

Communications.

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

First, my brother. I’d love to hear how proud he is of how far I’ve come and share everything I’ve accomplished. I miss and love him, and I know he’s smiling down on me. Second, Tupac Amaru Shakur, my favorite and the greatest rapper of all time. I’d listen to his advice and wisdom. Third, my grandfather, Charles Bullard, just because he’s my main man, and I love hearing his stories about my dad, aunts, and uncles when they were younger.

What is your biggest weakness?

Off the field, my biggest weakness is having a big heart and sometimes trusting people too easily. On the field, my biggest weakness is holding my tongue—I feel I could be more vocal.
