Why do you play football?
I play football because it’s all I’ve ever known, ever since I could remember it’s meant everything to me. The pure grind, the ups and downs, the friendships along the way. It’s just something I truly fell in love with , and it’s taught me so many valuable lessons.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Definitely Jason kelce. I think he’s a great guy and an even better football player.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play would go all the way back to pound ball when I was lined up at nose guard, I timed the snap perfectly and got such a great get off that I actually intercepted the handoff in the back field and took it back for a touchdown.
What was last years season like for you?
Last season was definitely a special one that I’ll remember. We as a team knew the talent we had and that’s why we had expectations and standards that we held for each other. Going out in the second round of playoffs wasn’t ideal but being such a dominant team that entire season was truly special.
What are your goals for this coming season?
We as a team will win it all.
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
Most likely Maxwell hiller, we faced them in the 2nd round of playoffs but came up short
What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?

Preseason Two a Days are:
Camp is a big grind but it turns out to be so much fun just being able to grind with your guys.
