It’s that time of year where you may be on scout team and not in the game plan. It’s a great opportunity to develop. Consistently perform and coaches will find a way to get you on the field. Remember the only difference between feedback and criticism is the way you take it.
Before I was an All-American LB I was a scout team All-American RB lol. Only way to get to any level of greatness is to be the best at your roll now. Embrace the grind. You will grow and it pays off in the long run.The mission of the team is the most important! #ALLIN #LetsRide

@CoachFinnin Disagree. You can work on OL footwork and proper technique and hand placement. The DL is going off of the OL movement so that's your advantage. You think DB vs WR 1 on 1s are realistic or RB vs LB? If coached properly there is positive takeaway from each.

Right before the snap for the go ahead touchdown we said “This will be a TD, believe it” this is what is called a team fulfilling prophecy- an expectation or belief that can influence a team’s behaviors, thus causing the belief to come true. So we put our hands up early!! 🙌🏾
