On potentially moving to guard:
“I think my figure, you know, at tackle, you have to be a little more athletic to handle those that speed off the edge. So if I were to get moved inside the guard, it’s bigger body, so it’s going to help me overpower them with my athleticism.”
On what he notices when studying pass rushers:
“I would say the biggest thing is just their body type and who they are as a pass rusher. And then I just like to see their favorite moves, what they do the most, and then also what wins too, what gets them home.”
On how the Senior Bowl helped him:
“It was an awesome week. Just getting back in pads and playing football again was a great feeling. The opportunity to go down to an all-star game, compete against high-level competition, and showcase who I am as a player was really valuable. The Senior Bowl does a great job of setting up a competitive environment, and I feel like I had a pretty good week down there.”
On what sets him apart coming from smaller school:
“Yeah, I’ve heard that a lot throughout this process. But going down to the Senior Bowl and competing well against top talent just goes to show that football is football. Everyone puts on the shoulder pads the same way. Everyone bleeds red. If you’re a good football player, teams are going to find you, no matter where you played.”
