What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2022 NFL Draft?

Godwin Joe
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Quitters, definitely ones who would be around me.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
The one moment that stands out would be growing up without my parents, and leaving my Mom at a young age.

If you could sell yourself in one sentence what would you say?
I don’t give up no matter how hard things get.

Personally I don’t know I feel my game is unique. I have been compared to some players like Jamal Adams, Sean Taylor, haha Clinton-Dix.
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Denzel Washington, Lebron James, Ed Reed. I would say these are some great role models and I would learn a lot from these group of guys.
