Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

After losing a close friend of mine the year before my sophomore year of college I became depressed and wanted to give up.  I realized giving up wasn’t going to help anybody or the situation. He always told me that I could make it in football and to keep going and that’s one of the reasons why I haven’t stopped.

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Kobe Bryant, because he’s always been my favorite player since I was a kid. I would like to know how he was so mentally tough and what kept him rooted.  Lebron James because I want to know how he keeps his body healthy after all these years and still performing at a high level. Also my dad and step dad because they are their favorite players and the GOAT debate would be crazy !
