Did you have a favorite player or team in the NFL when you were growing up? 

• Richard Sherman and Seattle Seahawks Legion of Boom, when they left I became a bandwagon to all the good teams because I like greatness

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

• My Mom because I just wanted to know her a little more. Jay Z and Jalen Ramsey just to pick their brain a little bit on how they became successful in life and the game of football
