Current: DK Metcalf & Stefon Diggs- exceptional skills and versatility on the field. Speed, strength, and ability to make contested catches and be a dominant force as a wide receiver are abilities I strive for. Former: Colin Kapernick, Randy Moss, Jerry Rice- I admire Colin Kaepernick for his activism and leadership, using his platform to shed light on social injustice and inequality. Randy Moss and Jerry Rice are iconic figures in NFL history, celebrated for their unparalleled skill sets and remarkable achievements on the field. Moss revolutionized the wide receiver position with his incredible speed, leaping ability, and knack for making spectacular catches, while Rice’s precise route-running, hands, and work ethic made him one of the greatest receivers of all time. WFA- Shaquanda Gainey & Jana Meister- When I went to the All American game I was welcomed, captivated, and comforted by their leadership, passion, and knowledge of the sport. Seeing their accomplishments motivated me and pushed me to continue to strive to be the best of the best. |
