“My goals for the fox 40 challenge is to get some more exposure for myself and have a fun time while doing it.” says defensive end, Pauljeet Dhami.

His season stats include 78 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 1 touchdown, and 7 sacks. “Football brings out the best in me.” he says, and goes on to say that his love of the game will keep him playing it for as long as possible.
This off-season, Dhami plans on working out with trainers and on his own each day in order to improve his athletic and football ability. “This offseason I plan to come back better than i was before . Faster , stronger , smarter and be better than any player i go up against.” And while he recognizes that this will be hard work, he says, ” [it] saved my life from becoming over weight and gave me the motivation to not just play the game but to be the best at it.”
