The coaches have asked me to play middle linebacker, I think I’m the best candidate because of my lack of fear, willingness to hit and leadership making sure everybody is in line.

Respecting your teammates and being on the same page at all times.
Finally, what do you think is the most important quality for a football player to possess compared to other sports?
