Losing my grandfather before this season was something I had to cope with. I’m honestly still not over it but it makes me feel better knowing I’m doing what he wanted me to do.

Do you have any pre-game rituals?

Usually the night before the game i’ll do a little yoga to get me loose and figure out what my swag will consist of for the game. After that, in the morning I get up pray and watch a football pump up video. Then, right before the game I envision myself making plays.

What was the most memorable play of your collegiate career?

The most memorable play of my college career was catching a screen and taking it about 45 yards to put my team in position to score the game winning touchdown with seconds left. Along with all of my pancakes.

What is the coolest thing you ever did off the field for someone else?

It was raining hard one day as I was passing the lunch lady Brenda soaked and struggling on her way to work. So I turned around and held my umbrella over her until she got to the door.

Pittsburgh Steelers
