1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>What is your current occupation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Long Snapper for the New Orleans Saints<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Where do you live?<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Orleans in season and Denver in off season<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Married\/ Kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No wife and No kids<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/span>What is your fondest memory of your time playing college football?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My fondest moment on the field came my Sophomore year when I recovered a fumble to set up the tying score against OU the #3 ranked team at the time than snapping the game winner couple mins later to beat them on last second field goal. But some of my favorite moments came off the field while floating the Boulder Creek, summer workouts and the cook outs.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>If you could give ONE bit of advice to the current Rubio Long Snappers, what would it be?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To have a balanced college experience and to find friends outside of the athletes you see everyday. It will help you get a different perspective of college and it serves as a good get away of the daily grind that can sometimes take over. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0<\/span>If you could give ONE bit of advice to the current Rubio Long Snapping PARENTS, what would it be?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

To give your child the support and resources so that they can make informed decisions for their future. Sometimes it may not always be the best decision but know failures can lead to great success. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"temp_MH18601--nfl_mezz_1280_1024\"<\/a>7. When was the last time you snapped a ball and for what reason?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About 3 hours ago at practice in punt period getting ready for last preseason game<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>If you could go back and play football in college again, would you go to the same school or a different one? Why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would definitely choose to go back to University of Colorado. It allowed me to grow up and mature while also providing me with a great degree. It introduced me to some of my best friends that I still stay in weekly contact with that I couldn’t imagine not having those relationships.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

9. Any regrets during college? Something you wish you had done or maybe hadn\u2019t?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My biggest regret was graduating and leaving Boulder Co in 3 and half years. It went by way to fast. The real world, Yes, I worked at Home Depot and Substitute taught while trying to make the NFL was not all that cool.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>What tremendous thing have you been a part of or experienced since you graduated?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would say coolest thing for me, was going from Substitute teacher on a Monday to playing in my first Career NFL game on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys in Dallas, my hometown. It was a surreal moment for me to play my fist career game in front of my family and friends. I even rode home with my family in the backseat just like the good ol’ days of playing pee wee football.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
