His enthusiasm for the defensive aspect of the game is palpable, and he approaches each play with unmatched intensity and determination. Joshua's words, “Mama I just love to hit!"
He holds his father in high regard. Having played football at the high school and collegiate levels, his father's influence is evident, as they regularly review past game footage and video clips of JJ's games. Furthermore, he is driven by a desire for self-improvement. His primary objective is to achieve NFL status, thereby earning his father's pride. This aspiration underscores a commitment to relentless effort and dedication.
In his recent appearance at an all-star game, he displayed remarkable resilience by playing through an injury, completing the game with several tackles and earning the Lineman MVP award. Despite his numerous accolades throughout his youth football career, he remains a grounded and humble 11-year-old.
