When did you start playing football?

I started when I was in high school.

What is your favourite thing about the game of football?

Just the team part of it, I like that it’s a team sport. I come from a big family so it’s nothing new to have a bunch of brothers around me, being on a team is my favourite part.

What is your favourite drill and why?

It’s not everyone favourite, but I like one-on-one pass rush, because its man-on-man. I like getting to go against another person, see what I have and what they have.

Who has been you biggest football mentor?

I feel like there’s no one main person. I feel like every level I’ve been to, high school, college, there’s always been a lot of people I look up to, whether it’s coaches, players or family.

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

I’d like to have been there to see the pyramids get built.

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

Jesus, Genghis Khan, Albert Einstein.

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

A house.
