1. Why Little Spoon rather than Big Spoon?

"Kind of self-explanatory if you've seen me before. If you saw me before where I am now, I was always little, I was always called Little Spoon, so I ran with it. It's just Little Spoon, that's all there is to it."

2. If you could meet anyone, past or present, who would it be?

"I can't lie, Michael Jackson, that would be crazy. Otherwise, I'd go Denzel Washington, best actor ever, you have to give it to him."

3. How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

"In one sentence; I am energetic, fun, and just very loud."

4. If you're on aux what's the first song you're playing?

"It all depends on the vibe; I might have to go with Went Legit by G Herbo. That's the anthem of the summer, right there. He's been my favorite rapper since 2012."

5. If you weren't a football player, what would you be?

"A gamer. I'd be on that game for sure. I want to get into streaming but I'm not into the camera being on me, I'm not really an on-camera type of guy. I live in the moment. I play Call of Duty, 2K, and Mortal Kombat. Whoever plays Mortal Kombat needs to get off the game, y'all play that game too much."

6. What made you pivot from the NBA?

"My mom wanted me to go out and play football again junior year of high school, she's a football woman. I played football before, and she wanted me to go out and play again because I was always good at it. When I went back out my junior year, I earned my first offer after the season from Troy University, and I decided to roll with football."

7. Who inspires your game the most – whether that's a past coach, family member, or player?

"Darrelle Revis, the way he approaches the position, he gave me the confidence, like, I can't be beat out here. Even if you have a great receiver on the other side, just taking on that challenge, you have to be able to beat me."

8. Do you have a pregame ritual or superstition, and if so, what is it?

"Nah, I don't really do all that. I just play my music, watch my film, remember what I saw on film and paper, and then I go out there and play. You have your nervousness, but, Year 3 in, I've seen a lot of the best receivers out there so there's no reason to be nervous anymore, especially when you've got Coach Mike (Macdonald) out there you're like 'I'm good.'"

9. Which teammate makes you laugh the most?

"It might be Coby (Bryant). Coby Bryant, but I can't lie there's a couple of them, Coby for sure. Really everyone in the DB room. You've got my boy Pepe (Damarion Williams), that boy is something else. You got Riq (Woolen), because Riq is just Riq, if you know him, he's just going to make you laugh because of the stuff he says. My dog T-Knight, Tyrice Knight. Really all my teammates make me laugh for real."

10. As a distinguished player, when will you know you've made it, or have you felt that already?

"I have not felt that yet. I have no idea when I will ever feel that. Right now, I'm just living in the moment, continuing to be me. I approach everyday like it could be my last."

11. If you could play any other position, what would it be?

"In pro football, the game is kind of built for the offense so that could be cool, but I like doing the hitting. I'd probably play running back though."

12. What makes you a good cornerback?

"I don't think it's up to me to judge, I think that's for somebody else. I play with great effort, but I think my peers around me would be a better judge. I put in the work and give my best effort every day to keep improving."
