I have great hands, great speed, and great routes. I’m pretty good at the jump ball for a short WR.

When you are breaking down film, what do you look for?

When breaking down film, I watch the DB’s feet and how he is in coverage. Every DB has a weakness just like every WR has one. I’m good at reading a defensive coverage,and that the biggest part about being a WR and getting open.

I’ve played a lot of tough football players, Being from Rock Hill, SC, but Stephon Gilmore was the toughest.
