I played some WR

At your position, what separates you from others?

What separates me from others is that I can line up anywhere on the field and run any routes effectively. I also believe I’m a huge threat after the catch.

When you are breaking down film, what do you look for?

When breaking down film I look for tendencies at every level of the defense. Are the DE’s straight up the field or are they just sitting back and reading the play as it develops? Are the backers better downhill players or better going from sideline to sideline? Do the secondary give up there coverage pre-snap and are the safeties flat footed at the snap?

Who was the toughest player you ever faced?

I don’t really remember going against a standout “tough” player, but the best player I have ever went against was probably DJ Hayden, we went at each other a couple times at practice before.

My biggest strength is catching the ball, put it anywhere and I’m going to go get it.

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is playing to high sometimes, when I don’t have a good pad level, it allows the defender to get leverage on me.

If I were a GM and gave you a second to sell yourself, what would you say?

If you want a player that’s gonna be a match up problem to a defense, and a player that’s gonna cause problems after the catch, I’m right here.

My favorite player was Jermichael Finley and my favorite team was the Saints.
