Interviewed by Paolo Bandini on NFL uk.
Asked if he was disappointed to go passed up in the first round, he replied "Am a Manchester City fan, been that kinda week"

I played for the Chingford Centurians and was the announcer for the Colchester Gladiators for several years. I'll take an announcing job for a decent sum!!
