(On what he has done to improve his game)

Like I said earlier, just the little things. Keep my feet wet, keep hydrated and keeping my body good to stay healthy for the season. So when the season comes, I can perform.

(On what his 40-yard dash time was at Louisville’s Pro Day earlier this year)

My 40 time was a 4.24. That’s my fastest 40 time. Hand timed was 4.19.

Hard working, fast temp and great effort every play. They’re going to see a great route runner, good hands and good getting off the ball, getting off the line, and great blocking.
