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

When watching film I particularly look for splits and formation. I also study individual routines and patterns. Down and distance, and overall offensive strategy are also important to spot.

Who was the toughest player you ever faced? 

During my High School career at Demopolis High School in 2010 the toughest opponent I faced was Jameis Winston who then played for Hueytown High School. He was a smart quarterback that could pass accurately and run the ball effectively, which challenged our team’s defense. 

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be and why? 

I don’t normally compare my style of play to others, but if I had to choose I would select Chris Harris Jr. of the Denver Broncos. I would choose him because he was once underrated in his physical style of play.

The biggest obstacle I had to face was forgiving people in my life. I overcame this by continuing to work harder and realizing that none of us are perfect.

Before every game I listen to music in the locker room, and I say a prayer right before I hit the field.

What is your biggest strength? 

My greatest strength would be my impeccable work ethic.

My favorite player was Emmitt Smith, and my favorite team growing up was the Dallas Cowboys.
