Interview
Q: Have you ever felt like coming from a small, lesser known school has made it harder to catch the eyes of scouts even as you put up massive numbers?
A: Yea most definitely! It just made me go harder and [continue to] play with a chip on my shoulder!
Q: Do you still carry that “chip” as an undrafted player, or is that all over now that you’ve been signed?
A: Yea that chip forever gonna be on my shoulder. I’ve been an underdog my whole life - being undrafted is fuel to the fire! I’m just ready to get to work with the organization!
Q: Scouts noted that your less-than-ideal Combine performance was a reason that your stock fell out of the seven rounds. Do you feel like you’re more than just that one Combine day, and that you can be a much better player than that?
A: Most definitely more than that 1 day; that doesn't define me as a player. When I hit that field & it’s time to work & compete it’ll show!
Q: The Panthers have needed some receiver depth this offseason, and they brought in a couple of candidates to compete for those spots as. Is there a lot of pressure for you to go out there and compete?
A: It’s never pressure when you work real hard at what you do. I know what I bring to the table to help this organization be successful.
Q: I know that we are in uncharted territory without any live practices in the near future. How are you planning to continue training while staying safe?
A: I got a place to workout & train everyday it’s not an issue.
Q: What do you think is your strongest attribute, and how do you plan to make it even better in the league?
A: Being an aggressive receiver & consistent guy catching the ball & doing something with it when I catch it. Im just gone learn from older guys to get better at what I do
Q: Any childhood football idols you modeled your game after? And what DBs are you most excited to go up against this year?
A: Michael Thomas he’s a dawg ! And I’m just ready to compete none in particular
Q: Finally, just tell us in short what we’re gonna get out of Omar Bayless.
A: You're getting this: 💪🏾💪🏾
