Growing up, were you inspired by any NFL Players?

Growing up, I wasn’t always into sports but my grandpa always had it on in the living room and that’s how I got into it. If one player were to have inspired me, I would say Odell Beckham Jr simply because after everything he’s been through and all the injuries, he always made a comeback.

What songs do you listen to pregame, to get you hyped up?

1942 by Meek Mill, First day out by Tee Grizzley, and believe it or not, some Adele.

What is your offseason training like?

My offseason right now is real personal. I got a lot in the works and behind the scenes. I have to prove a lot of people wrong, so you guys stay tuned for that

What is your favorite memory of your career?

My favorite memory of my football career is how it started. I remember this day like it was yesterday, the day I met Steve Briscoe. He was the one who got me into football and how it all started. I was at a flag football game and he asked me to join his youth football team because I was pretty big and he needed lineman, and that’s how I started playing, thanks to that man.

Who is the best player you have ever played with or played against in your career?

I played with a lot of good people, but if I were to choose I would say Jadyn Hudson. Not only because we played since youth, but I got to watch my guy develop and rise up to his potential and like me, we still got work to do.

What is your favorite food?

See as a lineman you got plenty of favorites, but if I were to choose I’ve got to go with some bbq ribs and mac- n- cheese.

When did you realize you were talented at football?

If I’m being honest, my mom did. Growing up playing football I was always in my head on how I can do better and what I could’ve done to prevent that sack. I never really realized all the good I did other people like my mom, my friends, my coaches, etc. I feel like I’m still not where I need to be if I want to have a fair shot at playing at the next level.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?

I would say Aaron Donald

What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?

My favorite sports moment is probably when Aaron Donald got the last sack of the Super Bowl, that was an inspirational moment for me.
