Because then comes your draft and you – you don't get a phone call during the draft, right?

Jalen? Well, look, this was my thought process.

Whatever, I was getting words that, you know, I went to the combine.

I went to the combine.

Yep.

Wasn't getting much, like, interviews, whatever.

I just knew I needed a shot.

Everything that we've just unpacked about your journey to the NFL, do you wear that as a chip every single time there's a snap, Jalen?

How you like it, Jaylen?

I like it.

Yeah, yeah.

It's, uh, it's different, but it's a little similar at the same time.

Um, obviously the culture's the same.

We wanna run the ball.

You know, that, uh, make 'em feel it mentality.

Or did you ever have one?

How you like it, Jaylen?

I like it.

Yeah, yeah.

It's, uh, it's different, but it's a little similar at the same time.

Um, obviously the culture's the same.

We wanna run the ball.

You know, that, uh, make 'em feel it mentality.

Or did you ever have one?

As an offense, what are you doing with having Russ on the field if he starts?

We got to actually get the game plan.

I mean, like, you guys focus so much on one player as if, like, it's the thing.

Like, it's all 11 of us.

You guys are worried about the quarterback, but I'm worried about all 11, the quarterback and the line and the receivers and the running back.

You know what I mean? So, you know, Russ being out there, I mean, he gots to do the same thing that Justin's been doing.

Justin's been doing a great job for us.

How have you and Pat Fryer grown as teammates and friends? Pat,

Dillon?

Oh, I mean, my- my- my take on that, I would say, uh, you know, obviously it depends on who you ask.

Some people would rather, um, you know, have their show to themself or rather they, you know, they- they...

I wouldn't say they warm up to it, but they like to get those first five touches or 10 touches or however much it takes and then get going so they'd rather take all the, you know, all the, uh, carries or whatever, blows.

Um, but me personally, I- I like how it is now because, you know, you- there's playmakers all- all over the field and especially when this guy gets in, he, uh, he makes plays.

So, you know, I- I love when, you know, everybody's getting their fair share because, you know, it's helping us win games.

What has your journey really been like?

I still like to keep, like, a govern.

What's that like? Um, it's

cool.

You know, I just, I look at it as, you know, I'm willing to help these guys out, you know, give them my knowledge about the game.

It ain't my first time.

Just look at it like when I was at Oklahoma State, I wasn't at that point.

When I was at Utah State, I wasn't at that point, too.

So it's just, you know, I'm treated the same.

What's the biggest difference from last year's Jaylen Warren to this year's
