LET’S GET TO KNOW TEEGAN
Why do you play football?
It’s my favorite sport and I feel there’s more than just football. It builds a relationship with teammates and coaches. It separates the men from the boys. With being a QB it puts me in a leadership role which I feel I do very well and that will go a long way outside of football.
It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most?
Being on the field giving it my all and coming home with a win with my teammates.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Dk Metcalf, I love his work ethic and just how he plays football. As a WR then don’t expect to block LB ect but DK does. He has the mentality he’s the best player and works for it and it pays off. He’s always looking to get better and he’s a good guy off the field so that why I look up to him.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
CJ Prosise he played for notre dame which is my favorite college team. He got drafted to the Seahawks and that’s what made me a fan. I was a rb at the time and loved watching him and wanted to be just like him.
What was last years season like for you?
I look at it as a failure. No one should wanted to go 1 and 9. It gives me something to wake up early every morning and get better to lead my team to a championship. I got introduced to QB last year and wasn’t really taught how to play but there’s no excuses for me. We have a different team this year and we are on a mission to win the league.
