When did you start playing football?

I started playing football when I was six or seven-years-old, it’s something that everyone in my family did and when I started to get into it, I fell in love with it. That love for the game grew stronger as the years went by.

What is your favourite drill and why?

I like the one-on-one pass rush, I like to compete and show what I can do. It’s a high energy drill and gives you the chance to try a lot of different moves.

Who has been you biggest football mentor?

All of my coaches for sure with the knowledge they shared but I would say my family. I have five brothers and two sisters that love the game as much as I do and they really drive me to become better each day.

What is the funniest thing you’ve ever seen on a football field?

When Wynton McManis puked on the field, he puked all over somebody and it was the craziest thing I’ve seen. We were dying on the sidelines and we told him ‘if you are going to do that again, get yourself off the field first.’

If you could have been there for one event in history, what would it be?

I’m going to say Super Bowl XLIII back in 2009 when Pittsburgh won it. The Steelers are my team, and I’ll always remember Santonio Holmes making that unbelievable game winning catch in the corner of the end zone, I would’ve loved to seen that live.

If you could have lunch with any three people – dead or alive – who would you pick?

LeBron James, he’s a super cool guy and is one of my favourite NBA players, Tom Brady and Kayne West.

If you won $10 million, what would be your first purchase?

I probably would buy a lot of things, I would definitely use most of that money. I would buy a house, cars, a lot of nice luxury things and then give some to my family to do some smart things with it.
