“Yeah, I went on a (Top) 30 visit there.”
(On what his impression of the Rams was during his visit)
“I knew – I fell in love. Coach Kromer (Run Game Coordinator Aaron Kromer) – I know he’s a great coach. I know his son pretty well. I was good friends with him when he was at OU (University of Oklahoma), and I’m just excited for the opportunity.”
(On if he prefers to play a particular position or if he’s content wherever he’s assigned to play)
“I’m just ready to play, ready to work my butt off. Wherever coach wants me, that’s where I’m going to be at.”
(On if he played primarily tackle at Oklahoma)
“Yes, I did.”
(On where he is right now and if he’s with family)
“I’m at my parents’ house. I’m with both my parents, my younger brother. My older brother’s actually in London right now, so he couldn’t be here. He’ll be back Monday. But yeah, I’m at my parents’ house.”
(On if it’s an emotional scene where he is with his family)
“Yeah, I haven’t seen my dad cry in a long time.”
(On if the Rams outlined a plan for what his role would be, and if they cited Joseph Noteboom as an example who came in as a backup and learned several positions before earning a bigger role)
“I mean, I haven’t really talked to anybody about anything like that. But like I said, wherever they want to put me, that’s where I’m willing to work my butt off to play.”
(On what it means to land with the Rams and being a part of a winning organization)
“It means a lot to me, and then especially I’ve got two of my former teammates on the team already. I’m really excited to just be there.”
(On the opportunity to learn from Andrew Whitworth and Rob Havenstein as tackles)
“I’m excited, really great players. I admire their game a lot, and you know with their experience I know they can teach me a lot.”
