**Besides fishing, what's a hidden talent you have?**
I wouldn't call it a super talent, but I can cook. I can actually cook a little bit. Salmon pasta is my favorite and I make my own white sauce and everything.
**Who is your biggest inspiration?**
I'd probably say my mom to be honest. Growing up and watching her work as hard as she did with as little help she had, just seeing her be able to push through things on her own, [that inspired me a lot.](https://www.chicagobears.com/news/a-mother-s-love-bears-rookies-fulfill-nfl-dreams-with-support-from-moms)
**You're a Texas native – what's your first impression in the midwest?**
Other than cold weather, it's chill. Everybody I've met that's from the midwest or went to school in the midwest, all my Wisconsin boys, they're cool people. Good people. I feel like everyone is genuine here. The midwest is pretty smooth.
**How would you describe your personality?**
Goofy. I'm not too serious. I'm a chill guy after goofy.
**Who were your sports idols growing up?**
Ray Lewis, that was my dawg. Big Ray. Really just him because once I found my one dude, I was good.
**Who are you most excited to team up with in Chicago?**
[Grady Jarrett](/team/players-roster/grady-jarrett/). My junior year is when I probably watched the most NFL ball, and when I was watching, it was him.
**Who is on your pregame playlist?**
We got Zillionare Doe, Montana 700, HeadHuncho Amir — these are Dallas cats. Then it's Lil Double 0 when you're close to the game and it's time to speed everything up and get ready.
**What are your gameday fits going to look like?**
Oh we don't have to wear suits do we? I'm not gonna lie, I might pull up chillin'. Lululemon, joggers, some of that. I might come fitted a few times. I've gotta come steppin' hard a few times.
**What did you want to be when you were a kid?**
I've always wanted to be an NFL player. No matter how many times people asked me, "you've got an option two? You've got a plan B?" it's always been football for me.
