What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft

I am very versatile, I can play LB and rush the passer or drop into coverage. I get physical in the run game as well and not being the tallest my natural leverage helps a lot. I can also adjust my game based on the game plan. I play special teams as well.

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

I am a team first kind of player. My main goal is to win before anything else and I’m willing to do what I need to do to help the team do that. 

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be? 

As kid a growing up and still to this day, I’ve seen a lot homelessness especially where I began to play football in East Orange, New Jersey. So if I can donate to anything it would definitely be to help out as many as I can. 

Who was your role model? 

My father is my role model, he taught me how to get up and get after it no matter how you feel or the circumstances. I went to school in another state and he rarely missed any of my games.
