2025 NFL Draft<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019m a relentless force at the point of attack, combining elite physicality with a high football IQ. As one of the smartest linebackers in the draft, I bring instinct, discipline, and an unmatched work ethic. Any team that picks me is getting an absolute dawg\u2014someone who plays fast, hits hard, and elevates everyone around me.<\/p>\n
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\nI strive to be a great example in the locker room, whether I\u2019m a rookie or a 10-year vet. No matter the situation, I\u2019m committed to being a great teammate and a strong role model, leading by example on and off the field.<\/p>\n
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\nI support the Make-A-Wish Foundation because I believe every child, no matter their circumstances, deserves the chance to see their dreams come true. Giving them hope and unforgettable experiences is something that means a lot to me.<\/p>\n
Who was your role model?<\/strong><\/p>\nMy Mother<\/p>\n
Who is your favorite NFL team?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Ravens<\/p>\n
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?<\/strong><\/p>\nNoah Robinson<\/p>\n
What is your biggest pet peeve?<\/strong><\/p>\nI can\u2019t stand people who constantly complain about their situation but aren\u2019t willing to put in the work to change it. Success comes from effort, discipline, and perseverance\u2014if you\u2019re not willing to grind, you have no right to complain.<\/p>\n
Who is your favorite teacher ever?<\/strong><\/p>\nMr Fairchild<\/p>\n
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?<\/strong><\/p>\nFor me, the most challenging moment was the 2023 season when I had to redshirt in order to set myself up for the success I had in 2024. It was tough because, for the first time in my football career, I wasn\u2019t part of the weekly game plan during the season. During that time, I found myself questioning a lot, but my faith in God and the support of those around me kept me grounded. That experience tested me, but it ultimately made me stronger and more prepared for the success that followed.<\/p>\n
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\nChili\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is your favorite snack food?<\/strong><\/p>\nSliced bananas topped with peanuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey<\/p>\n
What is your degree in?<\/strong><\/p>\nFinancial Management with a minor in marketing<\/p>\n
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\nRay Lewis, my Grandma, and my mom<\/p>\n
What is your biggest weakness?<\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019m learning to be more vulnerable in situations where I need help or advice. It\u2019s not always easy, but I\u2019ve realized that seeking guidance doesn\u2019t show weakness\u2014it shows growth. Being open to support and different perspectives is helping me become a better person, both on and off the field.<\/p>\n
