Find out this and more in this week’s “Player and Beyond with John St. Clair.”

What has been your most memorable football moment?
Katie, Scottsdale, AZ

I don’t really have one in particular, all of them really. Being a starter last year was really exciting to me.

Where is your favorite place to vacation?

Hawaii. I went there this offseason and enjoyed it a lot. It’s a beautiful place and I had a great time.

I know you were a University of Virginia Cavalier. What did you receive your degree in?

I received my bachelor’s degree in anthropology and I have started my master’s in counseling.

What do you do for fun in the offseason?

Sit back and watch tv. I don’t really have a lot of favorite shows; I watch mostly movies and one of my favorites in Ghostbusters.

If not for football, what career path would you have chosen?

I want to be a youth counselor when I’m done…either working in the school system or with the court system.

Who is the toughest defensive lineman that you have lined up against?

Michael Strahan.
