The 24-year old, who underwent a knee surgery prior to the 2017 season and sustained an ankle injury during that season, understands the importance of taking care of his body and has dedicated himself to that process this off season. “We’re working on the little things, and trying to get those little details right that can make you that much more explosive and keep up your mobility so you won’t get hurt as easily,” he said.
“I’ve been here just about a month now and I love it. I know I have to come and work hard every day, but might as well do it while having fun.”
