Speaker 1: Having Jabril Cox on the phone with the front office
Speaker 1: to being on the phone with us here on the
Speaker 1: Draft show. Jabrille, first off, congratulations, you're the newest Dallas cowboy.
Speaker 1: We're certainly excited about you being a part of this organization.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking right now? Man? The emotions right
Speaker 1: now are just unmasked. Thank you. I just couldn't think
Speaker 1: Jay Jones and Coach McCarthy anymore in the whole organization
Speaker 1: for just picking me. It's truly a blessing. Hey, Jabrille, congrats,
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta do it. I'm sorry, but from
Speaker 1: from one ls you got to another, I'm pumped to
Speaker 1: have you on the roster. Man. But hey, this is well,
Speaker 1: I'll be really honest with you. We think the world
Speaker 1: of you. We were expecting to hear your name called
Speaker 1: a lot sooner than this. You hear about guys in
Speaker 1: the draft having chips on their shoulder. What has this
Speaker 1: been like for you? And you know, I have to
Speaker 1: imagine you thought you would have heard your name called
Speaker 1: last night, And just how are you feeling about how
Speaker 1: this all played out for you? Yeah, it's definitely it's
Speaker 1: definitely been a process, but it's nothing new coming out
Speaker 1: of high school, I've been uh, under underrecruited, underrated, and
Speaker 1: then so just this happening and just following this late
Speaker 1: it's nothing new. It's the chip that's on my shoulder.
Speaker 1: And I'm just glad Dallas. Uh they picked me and
Speaker 1: I could show the league, the whole league, what they
Speaker 1: missed out on Jabrill. It's really interesting because we hear
Speaker 1: all of all of you guys who get picked by
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. We get to hear the audio, and some
Speaker 1: of them is just like insane. Like some of them,
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, thank you, I'll see you when
Speaker 1: I get there. And with you, it seemed like very calm, confident,
Speaker 1: ready to go. Is that an accurate way to describe
Speaker 1: your temperament because it seemed very even keel, which I
Speaker 1: kind of like, yes, yeah, I'm just I'm just uh.
Speaker 1: I like to stay humble in all situations and just
Speaker 1: give all the glory to God. So yeah, during it,
Speaker 1: but afterwards, my whole family and all of us we
Speaker 1: were excited and ump So just during this time, it
Speaker 1: was it was a very surreal moment. Jabril, as the
Speaker 1: second lsmember the LSU Tiger broadcast team go Tigers for sure.
Speaker 1: But I was going to ask you about your journey
Speaker 1: and you know, and Jeff just asked you about you know,
Speaker 1: you're talking about being humbling all that, but your journey.
Speaker 1: You know, you leave a national championship program, you go
Speaker 1: to another national championship program. You've made the decision to
Speaker 1: go and play, try and play the best football you
Speaker 1: could play it. Am I right about that? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a competitor and that's something that I always
Speaker 1: strive out to do, is just compete against the best.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, man, just you know, we talked a lot
Speaker 1: about your game, and we heard a little bit of
Speaker 1: your phone call with Jerry Jones talking about your ability
Speaker 1: to hang with receivers and you're so natural and coverage.
Speaker 1: Is is that the strength of your game or is
Speaker 1: there something else you pride yourself on that we're not
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, I think that's something that's a very
Speaker 1: strong in my game. But I believe that I can
Speaker 1: play at all three levels of the defense. For that
Speaker 1: being the back end, at the linebacker depth or even
Speaker 1: on the line is something that I take great pride
Speaker 1: in and my versatility, So just being able to be
Speaker 1: able to do multiple things for the defense is something
Speaker 1: that I take pride in. Well, Dabille, they've been trying
Speaker 1: to find a safety for about a decade around here.
Speaker 1: So if they tell you the twenty hours off the
Speaker 1: ballady to play some free safety, hey whatever, coach you
Speaker 1: want to say, Hey, I'll do it. That is the
Speaker 1: right answer. Jabrille, Congratulations on a big day for you
Speaker 1: with your teammate Tyler Shelfon. Just got drafted by the
Speaker 1: Bengals at one twenty two. So happy to have you
Speaker 1: here with the Dallas Cowboys. When we see you soon,
Speaker 1: my friend, Thank you, appreciate you. Guys. There he goes
Speaker 1: Jabrille Cox linebacker, Dallas Cowboys, not LSU anymore. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess he'll always be a Tiger.
