I am a man of few words but today I am opening up and letting everyone know I'm here and I will make an impact. Let's get those questions rolling. After all, only a few more days until Draft day! :yay:
1.) There are so many talented wide receivers out there and I respect all of them. You are right, you truly can never have enough. I see myself as a WR2. I want to be that reliable guy that you can always count on and you don't need to worry about off the field. I feel like a number 1 wide receiver but a I don't have the mentality for it.
2.) I get excited every time I'm on the field. Even when the play doesn't require me to get the ball I will help by blocking or getting open if the play goes a wry.
3.) I would sacrifice my body and make that play. I'm all about the team and getting to that next level of play. I would really suck not being able to play in the rest of the postseason but I would do it every time.
4.) Kitkat, chocolate with wafer and it's crunchy. What else could you want?!
5.) There are so many good ones to choose from. I truly enjoy sci-fi and fantasy but if I needed to pick a favorite it would be 5th element.
1.) I see myself as a man with a team first mentality. I will always push to make myself better to get where the team needs me.
2.) A 4 day year old boy is my biggest trouble. He is also the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Everything has its up and downs, you just need to see both sides.
3.) I see myself as a religious person, but I make my own way in life and do things for everyone
4.) I believe that were all aliens.
5.) Cash, I don't believe in giving anyone anything that could be fake.
1.) I find all QBs this year to be very talented and it would be a great pleasure to work with any of them.
2.) I don't think it's a lack of confidence, I just find it to be realistic. I want to be straightforward with everyone so the organization that drafts me knows what they are getting in return.
3.) I would prefer a middle of the road career on a dynasty team. As long as the team is doing well I am satisfied. I will always give it my best though.
1.) My favorite player growing up was Jim Kelly. I even tried out for QB when I was in high school. It wasnt long before I was switched to TE and then to WR in college.
2.) I attended the University at Buffalo.
3.) The thing I loved most about it was the diversity and the food.
4.) The most valuable thing I learned was how important it is to have good well trained personnel at all positions. You are only as good as your weakest link.
5.) I don't usually speak much and haven't had too while I was in Buffalo. So addressing the media has been my biggest fear and biggest learning curve.
1.) I think where ever I am drafted I will be a valued asset to my team. Picked high or low it won't change the impact I have or how hard I will work.
2.) I was a very rambunctious teenager and got into some troubles so I was overlooked by some larger colleges. I think it was good to get out of my comfort zone and move away from home. It helped a lot.
3.) No way is Buffalo better. It surely is awesome but Oklahoma City will always be home and always the place I want to be.
4.) I like watching hockey occasionally but nothing serious. Football is my passion.
5.) I think I'd like to work with another receiver like DJ Law. He has some serious skills and we could be a real threat to some defenders out there.
1.) I see myself like Dez Bryant. He is exactly how I see myself in a few years.
2.) My commitment is my number one attribute. It's truly not something that can be measured in a stat. I hope to gain veterancy and leadership as time progresses and I adapt to my new surroundings.
3.) I would put my body on the line for the ball. I take in consideration where we are in the standings and how I think the team will do without me. If it's a career ending injury and put our team in the first ever bowl game... I would do that ever time.
4.) I majored in computer science. It's just another love that I have that I may pursue after my NSFL career.
5.) I see myself going into the database administrator field or continue with NSFL work that doesn't involve me playing.
1.) It doesn't bother me at all. They are terrific players and they should be hyped. I don't mind being a dark horse.
2.) I think that I could work well with anyone. If I'm out there on a play I am going to assist in any way I can.
3.) I think my greatest strength is being where I need to be when I need to be there. I'm very cerebral when it comes to my route running
4.) I have a lot to learn coming from a smaller school but I will use my skills to there fullest.
5.) It has to be a place called Sunnys about 25 minutes north of Buffalo. Sooooo good
1.) I would to take on those roles. I think I would be a great match for any CB2 and I would dominate in the slot.
2.) My senior year I was able to do the work. I will tell you though, that will never happen again. Ouch!
3.) I prefer man to man. I like to size up my opponent and get to know him throughout the game. That way I can find his weaknesses and exploit them.
4.) I prefer stopping on a dime and watching the defender slide. Either I'm open or I still have the opportunity to drive further down the field for a big play.
5.) I think I have a lot to learn and a lot to gain. A chip is definitely something I do not have.
1.) It doesnt upset me but I think after this year they may want to reevaluate the way the look at smaller conferences. There have been some great players to come out of small colleges and I truly believe given the chance more players would have shown their true potential.
2.) I would not give him the position of #1 WR right away. I work for everything and I definitely want to be a #1. I will give it my all and would not be disappointed if DJ still made #1 after all my hard work.
3.) Despite Dez's insistence on being an azz on the sideline, he sure knows how to do it on the field. Thats the part of him that I want to resemble. I like to be the best on and off the field.
4.) For sure. But it would have to be an awesome movie to pull me away from the NSFL
5.) My personal favorite comedian on youtube is Ray William Johnson
1.) I did start all 4 years and I received my bachelors in computer science. Something I definitely wanted before I made the transition to the NSFL.
2.) I love running a good drag route. A quick way for the QB to get the ball out of his hands and if the defender misplaces a step it can go for a good gain.
3.) I definitely see a player like Khalil Mack paving the way for Buffalo players to get noticed by scouts. You see a player like that go top 5 and you need to look a little deeper where he came from and the program he was a part of.
4.) 5 is definitely rare. I've played number 5 since high school when I entered in tryouts to play as QB. It didnt work out but the number just stayed with me since.
5.) Absolutely. I think traditions are a big part of football. I will definitely help try and build some new traditions for the NSFL. Football is about the game its fans. Without fans I cant compete on the world stage.
1.) I think to get #1 I need to work on my speed and agility more. I need to work on everything but I definitely need to work on those aspects of my game first.
2.) Honestly even getting chosen is a great honor to me. So unless I am not chosen at all, I wont be disappointed.
3.) No way. I definitely lack speed. It something I need to work on for sure.
4.) Cooper is an amazing talent. I know he will be selected before me. But when it comes to benching. Ive got that down.
5.) Sinjin would probably get 7 out of 10 times. He's a player I would love to play against. You can only get better playing someone better than you.
1.) My favorite part about football is the competitiveness. I love going out there everyday giving it my all and knowing that the next game i will be better.
2.) I see every other wide receiver as a mentor that I can look to on the field. I can learn and adapt my skills based on their play and performance.
3.) I would most certainly love to help other players get acclimated to the league. Anytime I can help someone in need out, im there.
4.) I hate when players give up on a game or even a season. Ive seen some amazing comebacks. Never count yourself out until its all over. Even then there is always next year.
5.) Right now I am focusing the short term so I can better prepare myself for the long term. I want to see the direction of the league and make myself stand out any way I can.

1. While Receiver is a popular position, you can never truly have too many of them. Realisitically do you see yourself as a WR1? WR2? WR3? Something else?
2. Are you a feisty player when the play begins or do you just focus on your route?
3. Let's say you're in the playoffs, down by 3. You're in field goal range, and it's 3rd down. A game winning pass comes your way, but if you go for it you know you'll be injured for the rest of the post season. Do you go for the win, or do you preserve your health and hope you win it in overtime?
4. Favorite candy bar?
5. Favorite alien themed movie?
1.) There are so many talented wide receivers out there and I respect all of them. You are right, you truly can never have enough. I see myself as a WR2.

Cheque or cash?

You said you see yourself as a WR2. Some MAY see that as a lack of confidence. Would you say otherwise?
What would you prefer? A hall of fame career on an pretty good team that never wins the gold or a higher tier but mostly middle of the road career on a dynasty team?
Thanks very much for your time, Brad!

Buffalo college? Why not in your hometown?
Is Buffalo better than OC?
Are you watching other sports? Like Buffalo Sabres or something?
Do you have a player you want to be teammates with?

1.) A 6'4" physical receiver known for redzone touchdowns. Do you compare your game to a Dez Bryant or an AJ Green? Or somebody else?
2.) You don't really have any traits that stand out to the average viewer. Anything your coaches or teammates say makes you unique?
3.) In a draft class that only has 4 or 5 other big redzone threats, you're not the tallest. What separates you from the rest of this class?
4.) What was your major in college?
5.) If you don't have a long spanning career in football, what is your fallback plan?
Thank you for your time, and good luck in the Draft!
1.) I see myself like Dez Bryant. He is exactly how I see myself in a few years.

1.You and I are both from smaller college conferences you the MAC and me the BIG SKY does it upset you that critics discredit you cause you went to a Small school?
2. If you were drafted with D.J.Law to a team would you automatically give him the #1 slot on the depth chart without a fight?
3. When you model your game after a WR like Bryant does it embarrass you when he acts like an azz on the sidelines?
4. If Jamie Fox was about to make another football movie would you be his stunt double?
5. Funniest comedian you've seen on YouTube ?
Hey, best of luck this season-
1.) It doesnt upset me but I think after this year they may want to reevaluate the way the look at smaller conferences. There have been some great players to come out of small colleges and I truly believe given the chance more players would have shown their true potential.

What's your favorite route to run?
Buffalo has an incredible class this year, with Adamle Tomlinson also getting NSFL looks. Do you think Khalil Mack has lent the program some legitimacy?
5 is a rare number for a WR - who was your inspiration?
Buffalo is a team that's managed to get some great traditions going, like blackout games. Are you hoping the fans will be able to build that kind of culture around the NSFL teams, and will you try to contribute to that?
1.) I did start all 4 years and I received my bachelors in computer science. Something I definitely wanted before I made the transition to the NSFL.

5. Do you think you could evade Sinjin Flimjollywop?
