‘Survivor 44’ preview: Brandon Cottom is an asset to his tribe as a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ [WATCH]

“Survivor 44” contestant Brandon Cottom says he brings multiple assets to the table, making him a “jack-of-all-trades” that his tribe will benefit from keeping around. The 30-year old security specialist from Pennsylvania sees himself as mentally tough and physically strong enough to compete with the best. Watch their full CBS interview below.

Among Brandon’s skillsets are playing the piano, performing magic tricks, flying planes, and playing football (he played in the NFL for three years). Because he brings all of that to the table, Brandon says that he will be an asset “in challenges, but also for morale” because he thinks his positivity will be contagious.
