“Obviously, I overstayed my welcome a little bit, I was there for six years. I was there for a long time, saw a lot of football, not just me playing but just taking mental reps when I was younger from older guys. I feel prepared. I feel like I’ve seen a lot of football. I’ve seen a lot of things offensively and defensively, and so I got to learn a lot. I feel like I’ll have hopefully a step up going to the next level.”
