Carlos revealed he's still in shock over winning.
"I am still taking it all in. I am humbled by the opportunity and the whole idea that I was on the show and won. I did know I had talent when it came to modeling, I have done some and I mean I was doing selfies of myself long before it was in. I always liked nice clothes. I knew I wore them well," he divulged.
He also revealed modeling and football are pretty similar in the sense that "You have to approach it with the same amount of enthusiasm. It's a lot of hard work and you have to be aware of your body, of what you eat and your workout regime."
He did mention modeling is actually harder though.
"It's actually harder than football because in football you can eat pretty much anything you want and work it off but now I really have to be careful of what I eat. Now I have to choose between celery and honey cinnamon buns and before it was just always honey cinnamon buns," Carlos stated.
He further revealed that winning Cycle 21 "is better" than winning the Super Bowl since it's "all about me and getting recognized for the fruits of my labor alone. I am loving it."
