Take us through game day, How do you prepare? 

• Since most of our games are in the morning, I take a shower then go to team breakfast then after breakfast head to the field. At the stadium I throw on my headphones and get into the zone by watching Eric Thomas or Inky Johnson videos, after the videos I visualize myself making plays and going through my keys.

Do you have any hobbies? 

• Currently I’ve been spending a lot of time dealing with the stock market but other than that I don’t have any hobbies.

If you had to compare yourself to someone in the NFL, who would that be? 

• Lamarcus Joyner/ Mike Hilton they’re smaller guys that don’t care about their size and go in each game being consistent and doing their job.

Who has been the biggest influence on your life and explain why?

• My parents, they both came from rough childhoods and never let it be an excuse to not work hard because of it. 

What motivates you to work hard?

• My son, my parents were able to provide me with everything I needed plus more and I just want to do the same with him.
