Tom Brady easily! The greatest player of all time. I would pick his brain the entire day and I know I could learn a lot from him about ball and life.

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

My mom inspires me the most out of all my family members. She is the strongest person I know and she has overcame so much. She has inspired me to become the man I am today.
