Played quarterback and WR in High school.

At your position, what separates you from others?

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

When watching film on my self I look for the little things, how’s my footwork and where is my hand placement on block. 

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be and why?

I’d compare myself to Greg Olsen or Jordan Reed. Both are very effective in the pass game but can go in the trenches and block LB’s and DE’s.

Foot injury. Worked my ass off during rehab and getting back to game speed.

Not really. Say a prayer in the locker room pregame and go play.

Competitiveness. I will do any and everything I have to do to win. 

What is your biggest weakness?

I think I may be over aggressive on blocks sometimes. Which leads to bad footwork while blocking.

Cardinals. Growing up in AZ I think I was forced to like the Cardinals. 

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would you choose?

Adam Sandler, Larry Fitzgerald, and Brett Favre.

Probably a house.
