Question from Mike:
Trevor Laws! Man, you don't know how glad I was to see my team
Philly select you in the draft. I was very worried about DT on the
team as we had (imo) not enough in case of injury to Mike Pat or
Brod. With you on board, I do feel DT is a team strength.
How pumped are you to play a major role on the DL of JJ's Defense?
I really beloeve the Def. this season will be punishing and I can't
wait to see you all on the field. Hope you're signed soon and have a
great season / successful post-season.
Answer from Trevor:
Thanks Mike. I'm totally pumped to get on the field and contribute to this stacked D. All of the coaches are great, and the players have really been showing me the ropes. Can't wait for some real action.
Question from cherno jammeh:
hey trevor congrats on being drafted by the philadelphia eagles and completing your dream on going to the nfl. im a highschool football player and i play defensive tackle. i want to know how you got so strong in
the bench press and your lower body strength. what can i do to
increse my explosiveness
Answer from Trevor:
Well, the short answer is to just get in the weight room as much as possible and DO WORK. Just work real hard man. There isn't an easy way out to get jacked, so you just gotta put in the hours in the weight room. Work on explosive lifts like squats, cleans, etc. Stuff to work your whole body. Good luck.
Question from Mike:
Do you know if you will play any games this year as starter? Or play at all this coming season? I think you should definitaly start...you are GREAT!! Good Luck!
Answer from Trevor:
Well, the starters right now are Bunk and Mike, so I'm just looking to help them out and the team overall. I'm hoping to get in that rotation and really contribute the whole season long. Should be fun.
Question from Ben Joe:
Trevor,
I love the new website. What is your most memorable moment at Notre Dame? Do you keep in touch with Jeff Samardzija? I wish you lots of luck and success this coming season with the Eagles. Soar like an eagle, brother.
Answer from Trevor:
Thanks Ben. Wow, most memorable moment at ND...the 05 game against USC is hard to forget. Just the wrong ending. Oh for sure, definitely keep in touch with my boy Jeff. He is pitching great now in the Bigs. He's gonna be on fire up there.
Question from dee:
first off, good luck for this upcomming season...secondly, my question for you is really simple...how good is it going to feel to win the superbowl this year? Go EAGLES!
Answer from Trevor:
Haha...well that would be the perfect finish to my rookie season. I'll let you know in February!
Question from Hank Landau:
I have been and Eagles fan for 55 years, and a big Trevor Laws fan for 3 months. My question. Are you going to sign before camp begins at 4:30 today? If not, how close are you and the Eagles to a deal?
Answer from Trevor:
Glad to hear you're a fan Hank. Well now you know that I did sign in time for the meetings the first day. It's good to get it done and onto some football.
Question from Torch:
1st, I love the new site and the logo with your hair, very original.
My question is, who if anyone, do you consider yourself comparable to? Either past or present.
I'm excited to see what you bring to the team this year, and wish you the best in your career. Hopefully you'll be here for awhile. Good luck.
Answer from Trevor:
Thanks for the kind words, the logo was done by my bro and cousin. Hmmmm...not sure who exactly I compare too, but I always try to play with the intensity and toughness of John Randle. He was awesome. Some other players I really admire...Warren Sapp, Tommie Harris and of course Mike.
Question from Lexi:
First off, I LOVE the new website. Your brother did an awesome job. Love all the Eagles stuff.
I know everyone asks you what it is like to play with your ex-teammate and roomate Victor Abiamiri, but what do you think of your own rookie class? Have you gotten to hang out with those guys outside the locker room?
Answer from Trevor:
Glad you like the website Lexi. Getting to play with Vic is gonna be great. We have such a comfort level with each other, we just know what the other person is gonna do. Can't wait to eat some Tony Romo for lunch with him. The rookie class is great. Some real good guys. Not much hanging out yet as training camp is super busy, but hopefully soon.
Question from Michael Venson:
How are you liking training camp so far? Have a great season.
Answer from Trevor:
Well, so far I've just been doing conditioning as my foot is still getting back to where it needs to be. I'll be going at it soon though to test it out. Looking forward to putting the pads on and making some plays.
Question from EaglesFan36:
Yo Trever I am very excited as is every other eagles fan to have you on our team. Although i do not watch colledge football alot, i did some research on you and it is very impressive. So my question to you is what is the major difference from colledge to the NFL. Write me back!
GO LAWS!!!!
Answer from Trevor:
Thanks, I appreciate it. Well so far it's the tempo, and the amount of time you're either on the field or in the classroom. At college you had to split time between school and football...here it's all football.
Question from Maurice:
What have you learned from the veteran DT's?
Do you feel that their knowledge combined with your work ethic can help this
city to it's first Superbowl appearance in four years?
Answer from Trevor:
I've been learning a ton so far from Mike and Bunk, mainly just what to expect and how much time I need to dedicate. I'm also rooming with some of the veterans so I'm trying to learn as much as possible from those guys. Once I get on the field I'll learn a lot more too.
Question from paul:
Welcome Trevor... to Philly, the Eagles, and Eagles Fans!
I see that you played DE in a 3-4 alignement. Do you expect to get the opportunity to play some DE with the Eagles or are you totally focused on learning the DT position.
Also how would you describe your DT technique... 1-gap, or 2-gap?
Answer from Trevor:
Yeah, I played some DE, but I think I'm definitely a DT in this scheme. We have some awesome DEs here, so I'm happy on the inside. I'm definitely a 1-gap DT.
Question from Steve:
Welcome to the Eagles! Who's the guy in the draft day video that dances and and also says, "I'm going to pass out!, 'going to pass out!'"? He's hilarious and definitely made me laugh.
Rock on, Trevor! Like your site. Check out Katie Grove Band on Itunes if you get a chance. We live in the D.C. area, but would love to come visit Philly sometime.
Answer from Trevor:
Hahahaha...that's hilarious. That was my little bro Daniel. He slays me on a regular basis with his hilarity. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check em out!
Question from Javier:
Hey Trev...I am a huge Eagles fan and i am looking forward to seeing u play in what i am sure will be a real exciting defense. Since it is still training camp and the preseason is just around the corner....i was just wondering what the team atmosphere is like and how you feel with respect to your teammates, such as- who do u hang out with the most and who is teaching you the realities of the NFL. thanks for your time Trev and i wish you the best of luck.
Answer from Trevor:
Yeah man, I'm pumped about this D too. Can't wait to contribute. The atmosphere here is great, definitely a team that is focused and ready to go. All the guys get along, like a big brotherhood. It's pretty sweet. I definitely hang out with Vic the most. He has been teaching me the ropes and what to expect. It's been soooo nice having him here. Should be a great year.
Question from Eddy:
Dude did you check out Samardzij hit 99 in his debut. Kids got a cannon, where we come from we call him a cannonball king!! Congrats on the contract. All these great things happening I'll celebrate with some flaming DPs
Answer from Trevor:
What up Eddy. Yeah man, Jeff was KILLING IT! Even got his first save this weekend...pretty sweet. Have fun with those flaming DPs!!!
