WNF: How do you feel about your overall performance at the NFL Combine?
LK: In my opinion it went really well. All of the time drills I feel that i excelled at and performed real well. I proved myself at the combine and at the BC pro day all I participated in were the position drills.


WNF: What is your greatest strength on the field? 
LK: I would have to say my preparation for games. I love to prepare and watch tape of my opponent. This allows me to react quicker to the plays and enables me to play at a much faster pace. 


WNF: What is one area of your game where you feel you can improve on the most? 
LK: I feel like I can improve on my man coverage only because we ran mainly zone coverage at Boston College. That is the one area where I can see myself making  some significant improvements.

WNF: If you had to compare yourself to one NFL LB who would it be?
LK: Ive seen a lot of people compare myself to former Dolphin LB Zach Thomas and Cowboy LB Sean Lee. However, my favorite player has always been Ravens LB Ray Lewis. 


WNF: What NFL teams have you met or are meeting with?
LK: I met with the Carolina Panthers last week. I am meeting with the Titans this week (8/1/2012) and I'm meeting with the Bengals in April. 


WNF: What are you going to do with your first NFL paycheck?
LK: I haven't really put much thought into that. Probably not a whole lot, maybe buy a big ol' couch.


WNF: What are some of the best memories at Boston College? What were some of your best memories with the team?
LK: I would say just being around the guys on the team the whole time. We went to class together, we trained together, we played together. You did almost every single thing with those guys and being around them is something I will carry with me. 


WNF: Growing up, who was you favorite player and team.
LK: Growing up in Ohio my favorite team was the Cincinnati Bengals and my favorite player has always been the great Ray Lewis.
