What I love most about the game of football is that it takes you places that you never thought you’d be and it can change your life. when you feel like you don’t have anybody you can always depend on football to be there for you to take your mind off of everything.

Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?

I feel like the most underrated player I’ve played with is my brother Sayvon he taught me a lot about the game of football but never got the chance to play on the next level because of his size and the environment we grew up in but that never stopped him. He played with heart on the field he is a born leader.
