1) Being a cornerback coming from mostly zone coverage experience, how do you feel you can perform when paired up against a #1 WR on an island?
"It's the hardest thing to do as a defensive back, and I'm well aware of that, but like any other challenge I've faced, I think I can step up. Listen to your coaches, work on the movements, repeat it over and over again. That's how I got to where I am now. If I get paired up with a receiver man to man, then I don't have time to be worrying about how good I am, I just have to get out there and cover him. If I can stay with him, I have a good chance of stopping the catch."
2) Do you think your lack of endurance will cause some teams to drop you down their draft boards?
"This is something that was mentioned to me by my coaches, and endurance is something you can improve through your workouts, so it's something I'm working on at the moment. I don't think it's something to worry about right now because I can overcome that, you know? You train, you get better. That's the nature of sport. I don't doubt that some teams might maybe drop me down on their board, but if they do, and I go elsewhere, then I'll just enjoy proving them wrong even more."
3) Which WR in this year's draft class are you most looking forward to covering?
"Tough question, but I think maybe Damian West. He's quick, has good hands, runs crisp routes. I think he'd be a challenge and as an athlete you always want to push yourself, and test your ability against the best. He's definitely up there, I think. If we end up on the same team, even better. We can go at it on the training field."
4) With your speed and agility how would you feel if your coaches wanted you to take some snaps on special teams as well as corner, say as a punt returner or a gunner? Do you have any experience with that?
"Yeah, I have some experience returning punts in college ball, and I enjoyed the challenge. Completely different skill set to zone coverage, haha. But yeah, special teams is no problem. I think most of my early snaps were as a gunner, actually, so yeah. I'm absolutely okay with it. I'll do whatever my coaches think is best for the team, I'm all about the wins. If doing it will help the team win, consider it done."
5) Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce?
"Haha, this is going to be controversial, isn't it? Uh, of those two, I'd probably go with tabasco. At home we have Encona, though. Grandma's sauce of choice, so it's what I've grown up with."
Thanks for the questions.
