00:00 >> Think about what you think of Junior?
00:06 >> Somebody who turned nothing into something.
00:09 I came in to UW and I was a Fresno boy, not really having any goals,
00:16 just wanted to play college football.
00:17 But once I had the right people around me, such as JP, Rome, and Mike,
00:21 when all the puzzle pieces got put together, I mean, the sky was the limit.
00:25 And yeah, I mean, so I just wanna continue it and I want everybody to know,
00:29 let's keep football, Husky Nation.
00:31 >> What advice would you give that young Jalen stepping onto camp?
00:36 What advice would you give him right now?
00:39 >> Work hard like your job's gonna get taken from you.
00:42 But also, don't be a follower.
00:44 You can lead yourself.
00:46 I don't think there's really a point in following somebody.
00:50 I think you gotta allow yourself to know you as a whole.
00:54 And once you do that, I mean, the sky's the limit.
00:58 >> What's this process been like for you, just coming back to UW,
01:00 DAP processing, what's it been like for you?
01:03 >> Hectic, I mean, shoot, waking up every day early, just so you get ready for
01:07 Indy, I mean, I started workouts at 3.30, 4 in the morning,
01:10 just so I could get used to the time zone over there.
01:12 So my body was right, and meetings constantly, Zoom meetings.
01:18 Yeah, so shoot, just learning to be pro and to stay elite like I always am.
01:21 >> Did you get to see Coach Pete?
01:22 Obviously, he's back out there.
01:23 >> Yeah, yeah.
01:24 >> He's come full circle.
01:24 >> I chopped it up with him before the pro day started.
01:27 And we exchanged numbers, so
01:28 we're gonna be calling each other a lot here now, so.
01:32 >> How did you feel about how the combine went?
01:35 >> Combine went great, I mean, I feel like the work paid off and
01:38 everything I did was intentional.
01:41 So I mean, I hit all my marks, and yeah, I'm just excited for the process to end.
01:45 >> How are you feeling, how far it's coming through?
01:47 >> 100%.
01:49 >> What's been the reception from teams that you've gotten?
