Gregory Rousseau is ready to rumble in year two with the Buffalo Bills! Playmaker head of Talent Polo Kerber chopped it up with the young defensive end prior to the Bills' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL's season opener Thursday evening.
Polo Kerber: What are your personal expectations going into year two?
Gregory Rousseau: I want to take everything game by game, you know, week by week and really help my team win in each and every way, whether it's stopping the run or rushing the passer. I don’t like to put numbers on what I want to do, but I know deep down what I need to do for myself.
PK: So I’ve noticed on social media that you’re around Von Miller a lot, just from clips of practices and other things. So, what’s that like having someone as respected as him throughout the league in your defensive lineman room?
GR: It’s been great. Von is like an open book so far. He’s really helped me out with not only the stuff on the field, but the mentality he has and how he’s approached little things, like having a chef and how he takes care of his body. I’ve been taking notes, picking things up from every facet of his life. Having a future Hall of Famer around is a blessing and I can’t ask for a better mentor.
PK: And a Super Bowl champion! Having that experience in the locker room hopefully will help you guys get over the hump this year. Switching off of football, if you didn’t play football, ever, what would your life look like? What is something that you wanted to do outside of the football realm?
GR: Definitely something in communications and criminology! I was actually looking into the FBI a little bit. I would have liked to do some intelligence work so I can have the inside scoop on stuff that nobody knows about. I know that’s a weird reason, but I like knowing about everything. I’m not as interested in taking down bad guys, but just being behind the scenes would be dope to me.

It's been a LONG time since we've seen Zion Williamson in action... 492 days to be exact. Barring any sudden setbacks, the wait will be over on NBA opening night, as he's cleared to play for the New Orleans Pelicans.Even though he's been out of action for nearly two seasons, the young king has still managed to grow his empire off the court, with a $20 million mansion, a growing half-million dollar car collection, and endorsement deals from the world's biggest brands.
The latest episode of Certified Playmaker features Brockton, Mass product AJ Dybantsa, the top-ranked freshman in the country. Hyped as "Baby Giannis", AJ is already 6-7 at 14 years old, and features a violent burst to the rim and improving ball skills. Will the Utah Jazz or OKC Thunder tank for the young stunna in five years?
*too terrified to say anything*
