What songs or artists are on your pregame playlist?

"A little bit of everything. It varies, some old Kanye, some EST Gee, probably Young Pappy."

How do you want to be remembered, your legacy as a football player?

"I want to be remembered as a great teammate. Remembered as a hard-nosed player, creating that legacy as a presence on the field. Making sure that it's known. Oh, he's a good player, not just another player in the league.

Favorite place to vacation?

"I love water, so beaches, mountains, too. Anything with a great view and just a relaxing vibe."

What is your go-to meal, your favorite food?

Baseball players have walk up songs, if you had a walkup song what song would you choose.

"'Not A Drill by Veeze."

Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

"I would like Michael B. Jordan. Or, you know, a good comedic actor. Terry Crews would be funny."

Favorite place in Seattle to hangout out?

"I like going to the Snoqualmie Falls, I go on the hikes around there. I also like Kerry Park. I like to go eat. I've been trying to find restaurants out here. That's been my thing. I'm on a little search every week. I try to find a new restaurant."

If you could go back in time and give your younger self advice, what would it be?

"Trust the process, no matter how low or high. Just keep going, keep working and make work habitual."

Who inspires you the most?

"I'd say my father. Growing up, he'd always be up early, no matter what, no matter what the situation was. He instilled that work ethic in me as a young kid. And it taught me that if you want something, you have to go get it."
