What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
What makes me a top prospect at my position in the 2026 NFL Draft is a combination of physical talent, high football IQ, and relentless work ethic. Physically, I have the size, speed, and strength to compete with anyone at the next level. But what separates me is how I study the game — I break down film, I learn tendencies, and I prepare like a pro. I’m not just reacting on the field; I’m anticipating. Coaches know they can count on me to lead by example, to execute the playbook, and to make plays when it matters most. I’ve been consistent, durable, and I show up every week ready to dominate.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
One thing NFL teams should know about me is that I’m all in — every snap, every rep, every meeting. I’m not just chasing a roster spot; I’m chasing greatness. I bring a mindset that’s built on discipline, accountability, and constant improvement. No matter where I start, I’m going to outwork expectations and raise the standard around me. I’m not just here to play in the league — I’m here to leave a legacy.
