Never sleep with socks, no undershirt under my pads in the game, never eat spaghetti without Ranch.
Who is the toughest player you’ve competed against during your collegiate career?
De’Angelo Henderson and Malcolm Summers.
Currently, who is the best player in the NFL?
I’m going to go with a defensive guy and say Aaron Donald.

Forty-years from now, what do you want to be remembered for?
Being someone who helped others and cared about something more than myself.
In 15 words or less, why should an NFL team invest in you?
