1. I noticed you have almost the same amount of carries as last season but 20x the amount of rushing yards. As a QB has your decision making skills improved or have you learn it is ok to leave the pocket and get any yardage you can get?
I would say that I have been more smarter with my decisions regarding leaving the pocket as you can see with my rushing yards, me rushing opens so much more up within our offense so with me doing that not only benefits me but it gives my offense have another weapon and another factor defenses have to game plan for.
2. If you had to compare your style to a NFL/college player , who would be the closest to your style?
I would compare my game to Trevor Lawrence, I would prefer to stay in the pocket but I don’t mind making plays with my legs and I drive well under pressure.

I would wish to go into business management to one day have my own real estate company.

I would love to coach college football, but if that opportunity is not presented then I want to have a real estate company.
