2. As former TE/H-Back Chris Cooley once did, will you ever take a picture of your member and playbook at the same time?
3. Is a beard integral to your position and playing style?
4. If not a beard will you shave everything and go completely bald?
5. Once your playing career is over, will Dancing With The Stars be on your radar?
1.) I think Kellen Winslow, others may have eclipsed his feats since he played but he brought the position into the modern era and showed that a Tight End could be a nightmare. In this class, either Rick Maddox or even myself, I guess it depends on what a GM is looking for.
2.) I only plan on jamming one down the defense's throat, I guess I'd prefer to keep myself out of trouble with the media if I can.
3.) I wouldn't say integral so much as unavoidable. I try to keep it tame but you know later in the season when you're focusing on playoffs they can get pretty out of control.
4.) I keep my hair short, Wisconsin winters are a bit too cold to want to go completely bald, plus my head would look like a toe.
5.) Absolutely not, I plan on winning Survivor and riding off into the sunset.
Quote:1. Will you keep up the status quo of TE's being the overall best looking position?
2. How good is your stiff arm?
3. Do you have a technique down for your blocking or are you still trying to perfect it?
4. Favorite Gatorade flavor?
5. What's your go-to Mario Kart character?
1.) I don't think I would put Tight End at the top of the list in this class. There is a lot of solid depth, I think GMs may wait until later rounds and still find a quality guy. But I feel like other positions have several elite players that you will see being called in the first couple of rounds.
2.) I think it's excellent, I may not be dancing around the field but I can truck and I have a good wingspan to throw the stiff arm. I think coaches will be pleased with my power running ability and my ability to make yards after the catch. Those are good traits to have in short yardage situations.
3.) You can have a technique in college that you think is great, and the moment you get to training camp you have three or four guys telling you it's all wrong. I try to stay low and get my hands up high to get good leverage, of course you have to watch out for the facemask. I'm not worried about my blocking ability but I'm always trying to improve it, my pass blocking especially as I'd like to be featured in max protect formations as well.
4.) The lemon-lime one is pretty disgusting but in a good way.
5.) I always played as the little mushroom guy, but to be honest I had an Xbox so didn't play Mario Kart a lot unless it was with friends.
Quote:TE was the first position I played before shifting to defensive end/line backer, is there a reason you chose this position?
What's your guilty pleasure music choice?
If a restaurant brings you the wrong food, what do you do? How do you react?
What inspires you to play football?
Do you think you'll be able to stick in this league for the long haul? What's your ideal career length?
1.) I used to play Fullback and Halfback but I hit 6'3" pretty late in my teens, when I went to Iowa they asked me if I could play TE as well and I said I could play anything they wanted me to. It's stuck since then!
2.) When I do my morning work-outs I like to listen to really old rock and roll, from the 50s. It's not a good way to get amped up for a game but it helps me enjoy having to be up so early.
3.) If the food still looks good I'd probably just go for it. I'm not too picky and sometimes it's fate to try something you weren't expecting. If it looked bad I would ask them to try again.
4.) I've been good at it as long as I can remember, I can't really think of why I've tried so hard and come this far, it's just what I do. That's probably a question I'll have to continue to ask myself as my career progresses.
5.) I'd like to get through my rookie contract before I decide what my long term goals are. A long career is much better for the wallet and I think I can be successful.
