I see myself in a leadership role. Being responsible for setting the bar of doing things the right way and giving maximum effort. I believe anywhere I’m let loose and in position to go get the ball carrier and get after the quarterback.

The best player I played against was Oli Udoh from Elon. He plays OT for the Vikings now.
