1) What did you think of the Senior Bowl experience?
“I think the Senior Bowl experience was pretty amazing and it kind of just worked out in my favor. I got the invite late in the process, so just being able to have that opportunity to go and compete and play against the highest caliber players in college football for the most part and just having the opportunity to show that no stage is too big for me, that was definitely an important thing.
“Going through this draft process and being able to get in front of some coaches in the league and have them see how I work and how I’m a professional every single day in activities, preparing the right way and being able to learn the playbook quickly and execute the plays in the huddle, even though we only had a week to learn the plays. Being efficient in and out of the huddle and just showcasing to them my intellectual [abilities] and my abilities on the field. I had a good week overall [between] all three practices and then the game as well. It was definitely a great experience overall.”
2) Did you meet Seattle at the Senior Bowl?
“Yeah I think every quarterback got the opportunity to meet with–I don’t think the teams in the Super Bowl were there–but the rest of the teams, every single quarterback got to meet with them. So yeah, I met with Seattle.”
