"Speaking of the NFL, this is one of our favorite questions to ask prospects. Are there any current NFL’ers out there that you model your game after? Or even some retired players that you like taking things from to make your own?"

Mershawn Rice (@rice_mershawn):

I don’t try to model myself after a specific player I just go out there and play my game. And keep working to get better at my craft. However my favorite player is Julio Jones. He is a freak of nature. 6’3″ 200+lbs runs a 4.3. He can jump, run routes, and do everything a receiver needs to do. He’s just a big physical receiver. I just love to see athletes like him and Odell Beckham Jr, and Aaron Donald. You know people like that who play with passion and physicality.
