No, his son didn’t have a doubt. “One thousand percent I’m sure that he will compete in the NFL,’’ Locksley told The Post over the phone Friday. “With the confidence he has in himself, there’s no doubt that he’ll be able to hold his own. That is his biggest strength — his confidence in his ability.
