Football is about giving back, what is the coolest thing you have done off the field? 

The coolest thing I’ve done off the field has to be when me and a group of teammates visited a local elementary school for the day. We ate lunch and played any games that they wanted to play with us.

Spanish 2 is by far the hardest college class that I’ve had to take.

At your position, what separates you from others? 

My football intelligence and understanding the game are what separate me from the rest of the field. I aim to understand concepts so that I can perform my assignment with the most efficiency. I can also run every route on the passing tree

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

As I’m breaking down film I first recognize the coverages and coverage techniques DB’s are using on specific downs. Once I figure out coverage tendencies, I look at how the DB uses leverage, in order to use it against him

Toughest player I faced was a Lenior-Rhyne DB during my freshmen year

I usually just try to stay relaxed and loose during pre-game

What is your biggest strength? 

My biggest strength is that I’m not a selfish individual and I will do anything to win the game

Biggest weakens is my weight because of my height, but in the right program and good meals I will be able to play any skill position on offense or special teams

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

Your investment in me will be wise because in return, anything you ask me to do for your organization will be done to the best of my ability and with tremendous effort

Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons were my favorites while growing up
