did. A dynamic and electric playmaker, opposing defensive backs struggled to keep up with Austin's quick-twitch moments off the line of scrimmage. Austin undeniably boosted his draft stock with several terrific and consistent showings in Mobile.
CAIII: I was a Memphis fan growing up. Having the opportunity to come to Memphis and play football was something I always dreamed of. Playing close to home meant everything to me. My mom, dad, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, and my friends from high school would attend almost every game. It made the whole experience that much more special for me.
JM: You’ll forever be remembered as a Memphis legend. You continued to open eyes at this year’s Senior Bowl, where you were one of the most exciting playmakers in attendance. What was that experience like? CAIII: It’s honestly just funny to me. I just respond by working hard. It adds fuel to the fire and gives me extra motivation. I’ve always trusted in the process and in God’s plan for me.
CAIII: They had a lot of great defensive backs out there. Tariq Woolen from UTSA is a longer and taller guy. I played against him during the season so I was very familiar with him and his skill set. Competing against him again was a lot of fun. Alontae Taylor from Tennessee was another guy that stood out to me. He’s going to be a good cornerback. He’s quick on his feet. I had fun competing against all of the defensive backs in attendance.
I’m constantly working on my breaks and releases. I trust in my work ethic and my plan of attack. I like to maintain control throughout the rep. JM: It pops on tape consistently. You’re such an electric route-runner. Do you have a favorite route to run? I’ve always practiced my ability to stop on a dime. Everybody was older and bigger than me. Once I got the ball in my hands, I always had to use my speed and quickness to my advantage.
I can play any role for an offense. If you need me to soak up a ton of targets in our offense, I’m used to that, and I’m able and ready to run every route in the route tree. If you need me to play a specific role, I’m able to do that as well. CAIII: With bigger corners, they want to stay within their lane and use their length to their advantage. I like to move them off their spot and put them in a position where they’re forced to chase me as opposed to staying square. It goes back to being in control like I said earlier. I have to make sure I’m more quick and sudden within my movements. I may not be as patient with a taller guy because I don’t want them to get their hands on me.
