Justice Says
Other than play in the NFL, his dream job is to be a sports commentator... One word to describe him on the field is “beast”... Besides playing football, he’s also good at riding dirt bikes... He chose Kentucky because it’s home and UK will help develop him into a better player and man... One thing most people don’t know about him is that he’s country
