What separates me from others is I focus on my technique and try to perfect that rather than just relying on my speed.

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

The first thing I look for in breaking down film is finding out the personnel sets and see what they like to do from each personnel. I also look at how teams try to attack the defense on third down. Another area I focus on is how receivers run their routes and how they release off the LOS.

The toughest player I’ve ever faced was Josh Doctson from TCU.
