1. Who is your favorite artist?
"Drake, and my favorite album is More Life."
2. What is your favorite food and what restaurant in Seattle makes it the best?
"(My) favorite food would have to be steak and potatoes. Bounty Kitchen, it's in downtown Seattle. They got this steak sandwich, it's supposed to be like a Philly cheese (steak) but it's really just a steak sandwich."
3. What is the best vacation destination you've been too?
"Easy. I went to Bali. Bali was cool, but this past one Greece was pretty cool. I went to Mykonos and Athens."
4. What are your hobbies outside of football?
"I love taking pictures, I love coloring books, and I love writing poetry."
5. What would you do if you didn't play football and what other position would you play if you weren't a linebacker?
"I would probably be a police officer. If I couldn't be a linebacker, I would be a running back."
6. If you could have dinner with any three people, past or present, who would it be?
"Michael Jackson, Drake, and Elon Musk. Michael Jackson is the one celebrity I always just wanted to be. Just to see his creative process, how he thinks. Drake is just my favorite artist ever. Elon Musk because to me in my eyes he's like a modern day genius, so I just want to pick his brain. Wait, could I pick Jesus? I'm going to replace Drake. So it would be Jesus, Mike (Michael Jackson), and Elon Musk."
7. Who motivates you the most?
"I probably don't tell him enough but my dad probably motivates me the most. Just seeing where he's from, all the odds that were against him, he kind of just turned into a different person. He did it his way and was he perfect? No. But he's a man who cared about his family. He made mistakes but every time he got up, he always wanted to better himself. So yeah, definitely my dad."
8. What is your favorite movie and TV show?
"My favorite movie is The Dark Knight. My favorite television show, I could watch Tom and Jerry any time, any place, all day. That is one I haven't lately (watched), but I could watch Tom and Jerry all day."
9. What is your favorite thing to do in Seattle that you couldn't do in Miami or Cleveland?
"I enjoy the parks here. I can take my dogs, I can take pictures, and just enjoy the scenery. In Miami it was cool, but it was so hot all the time. You never really wanted to go outside unless it was by water. Cleveland is cool, but I was from there so I didn't care to go to parks."
10. How did you find your passion for flying and fighter jets?
"It's actually a funny story. I met this girl, Olivia, she's a pilot. I always had that idea that I could be a pilot but it was kind of like I never met anybody that was a pilot so I never actually thought I could do it. Then I met her and she kind of pushed me to do it. So I got books for it, I did all this. I invested in this sports drink, Hydrate Heroes, and one of the things was that we were connecting with the military. They were like 'Would you get in a fighter jet and fly it if it's for the drink?' And I was like 'Absolutely, yeah I'll try it.' So that was my crazy story. That day I got in the fighter jet is the day Miami (Dolphins) cut me. So it was a fun day but it was like damn."
11. Would you ever consider becoming a pilot after playing football?
"Yeah. Even now, I have all my books that I'm studying for. It's just hard because we're in football season so I kind of forget a few things. I'll definitely be a pilot, that's a big goal of mine."
