Gopher Sports: What is the best show to binge watch on Netflix right now?
Adekunle Ayinde: I started watching "Quantico." It's a little FBI show. Either that or "Prison Break." They are really interesting shows. They have things I like. I like the whole scary kind of thing. It's really easy to watch with people too.
GS: Do you have a celebrity crush?
AA: Beyonce.
GS: What's your favorite road trip you've ever been on with the team?
AA: When we went to the Citrus Bowl in Florida. It was my first time in Orlando, so that was fun. I got to go to Sea World, got to see the whales and the manatees. We went to Disney World,and the Animal Kingdom, which were both firsts for me. All those places were fun.
GS: What's your dream vacation?
AA: Either somewhere on a resort island, like Fiji, or somewhere in Europe.
GS: If you could intercept any NFL quarterback who would it be?
AA: Cam Newton. He's the man right now. Him or Tom Brady because they are the best out there so why not get your pick from the best ones out there.
GS: What's your dream job?
AA: When I was a kid I wanted to be a dentist, but now I would like to do something with sports teams.
GS: What would you do if you won the lottery?
AA: I would put most of it in the bank, but I would also buy my mom and my dad whatever they wanted because they have done so much for me. Then I would get my brothers and family something as well.
GS: If you could have any super power, what would it be?
AA: The ability to teleport because there is a lot of things I could use it for. After practice, if I felt lazy then I could use it and get where I wanted to be.
GS: What's your strangest talent?
AA: I played saxophone for five years. My freshman year of high school I didn't practice my solo ensemble outside of school, but I was the only freshman who got a superior. I still play now and again but my brother is really a big musician so I just listen to him.
GS: What's the funniest moment since you joined the team?
AA: I would say one time where Mike and Nick Rallis got out here and put on a Wrestlemania performance. It happened a few years ago, but was pretty funny.
