Who is the most talkative amongst the receivers? The quietest?
We all kind of keep things to
ourselves. We talk amongst each other, but we dont really trash talk too much. Coach Sullivan doesnt like that the most. He
wants us to perform and let our actions talk for itself. I would say that just as far as a talkative person, that would have
to be Nate Poole. Hes always talking and hes a pretty funny guy. I dont think we have a quiet guy. I think we all just have
fun and I dont think there is a quiet guy.
What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
Usually,
I pretty much have a Myplex shake every day. But, my favorite, favorite breakfast are pumpkin pancakes that my wife makes.
I love them. They are really, really tasty, you should try them. It is so good, I promise.
What is one thing about
your college teammate LeVar Woods that would surprise most of your other teammates?
Hes sensitive. He sometimes
takes thing to heart and around his wife, hes really sensitive and I think that is kind of funny sometimes.
What
was the worst look youve ever sported?
My senior year of high school, I shaved my head and had only two braids,
one on each side of my head. I did have all braids, but then I shaved all of them but two. The color of the team that we played,
I would die them that color so it was blue, red, whatever.
How often do you have to bleach out your hair now?
About
three weeks to a month. If there is a big game on national television, Ill make sure I do it brand new and fresh. I have to
look nice.
What do you take the most pride in as far as football?
I take pride in working as hard as
I can to excel. I walked on at Iowa and have always been the underdog and I take pride in working harder than everyone else
to accomplish my goals.
You came in at the end of last season and made an immediate impact. Now, there is so much
competition at your position that it seems anything could happen. Is that tough?
I think it is beneficial. Competition
is going to make me play the best I can. I feel fortunate to be in this competition and Im just going to do the best I can
to excel and help this team out.
What is your hometown?
Burr Ridge, Illinois. It is about 15 minutes
from Chicago.
Did you grow up a Bears fan?
Oh yeah, Walter Payton was my idol. I named my cat Payton
after him. Every Sunday that I could, I would go see the Bears play.
Are you looking forward to playing the Bears
this year?
I had the opportunity to play them when I was in Denver too, and that was fun. But, I have never gotten
to play them at Soldier Field which is awesome because that is right in my hometown area and that will be a dream come true
when we play them during the regular season.
