0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>What are you thinking right now? Man? The emotions right

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.479
<v Speaker 1>now are just unmasked. Thank you. I just couldn't think

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Jay Jones and Coach McCarthy anymore in the whole organization

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>for just picking me. It's truly a blessing. Hey, Jabrille, congrats,

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I gotta do it. I'm sorry, but from

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>from one ls you got to another, I'm pumped to

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have you on the roster. Man. But hey, this is well,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be really honest with you. We think the world

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of you. We were expecting to hear your name called

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot sooner than this. You hear about guys in

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the draft having chips on their shoulder. What has this

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>been like for you? And you know, I have to

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>imagine you thought you would have heard your name called

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>last night, And just how are you feeling about how

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>this all played out for you? Yeah, it's definitely it's

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.319
<v Speaker 1>definitely been a process, but it's nothing new coming out

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>of high school, I've been uh, under underrecruited, underrated, and

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>then so just this happening and just following this late

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing new. It's the chip that's on my shoulder.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just glad Dallas. Uh they picked me and

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I could show the league, the whole league, what they

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>missed out on Jabrill. It's really interesting because we hear

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>all of all of you guys who get picked by

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys. We get to hear the audio, and some

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of them is just like insane. Like some of them,

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like, all right, thank you, I'll see you when

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I get there. And with you, it seemed like very calm, confident,

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. Is that an accurate way to describe

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>your temperament because it seemed very even keel, which I

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, yes, yeah, I'm just I'm just uh.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I like to stay humble in all situations and just

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>give all the glory to God. So yeah, during it,

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>but afterwards, my whole family and all of us we

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>were excited and ump So just during this time, it

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>was it was a very surreal moment. Jabril, as the

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>second lsmember the LSU Tiger broadcast team go Tigers for sure.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>But I was going to ask you about your journey

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and Jeff just asked you about you know,

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about being humbling all that, but your journey.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, you leave a national championship program, you go

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to another national championship program. You've made the decision to

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>go and play, try and play the best football you

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>could play it. Am I right about that? Yes, sir,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a competitor and that's something that I always

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>strive out to do, is just compete against the best.

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious, man, just you know, we talked a lot

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about your game, and we heard a little bit of

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your phone call with Jerry Jones talking about your ability

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>to hang with receivers and you're so natural and coverage.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Is is that the strength of your game or is

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>there something else you pride yourself on that we're not

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Yeah, I think that's something that's a very

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>strong in my game. But I believe that I can

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>play at all three levels of the defense. For that

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>being the back end, at the linebacker depth or even

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>on the line is something that I take great pride

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>in and my versatility, So just being able to be

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>able to do multiple things for the defense is something

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that I take pride in. Well, Dabille, they've been trying

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to find a safety for about a decade around here.

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So if they tell you the twenty hours off the

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>ballady to play some free safety, hey whatever, coach you

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>want to say, Hey, I'll do it. That is the

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>right answer. Jabrille, Congratulations on a big day for you

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>with your teammate Tyler Shelfon. Just got drafted by the

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Bengals at one twenty two. So happy to have you

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>here with the Dallas Cowboys. When we see you soon,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>my friend, Thank you, appreciate you. Guys. There he goes

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:38.360
