The Daily Iowan: What drew you to Iowa?

Brendan Sullivan: I just like the tradition of Iowa football — a bunch of tough, gritty guys. They get the job done and are tough to go against. 

Three words that you think describe you as a player? 

I would say tough, versatile, and gritty. 

What’s one food or drink that you don’t like that all your peers do? 

I think it’s sweet potatoes. Trash. I like sweet potato fries, which is weird. 

If you were in the jungle, which animal would you want to be? 

A gorilla. I just think they’re so dominant. They’re so strong. 

What’s the most important part of an outfit?

I like having the right shirt on, having the tattoos pop. 

Carpet floors or wood floors?

Wood floors. They’re easy to clean. 

What’s one place that your parents forced you to go as a kid that you hated going to?

My dad was a football coach growing up, and sometimes they wouldn’t let me go to their practices. I always hated staying at home. I loved to be at the football practices. 

Turf or grass?

If it’s good-cut grass, then low-cut grass for sure. 

What other sports did you play in high school?

Basketball. 

Who’s your favorite NBA player?

The GOAT, LeBron James

Who’s your favorite NFL player right now? 

I’ll go with former teammate Peter Skoronski.

Who’s the best NFL player right now? 

I definitely have to go with Mahomes. What he’s done for the quarterback position, I feel like it’s got to be him. 

What do you think about the Chicago Bears? Do you think trading Justin Fields was the right move? 

I mean, they got to make decisions. I was a big Justin Fields fan. I like the way he played, the way he carried himself, but I wish him the best in his future. But I would’ve kept him.
