00:00 >> How did the league members help feed off each other to be better players?
00:05 >> I mean, just he's a great person outside of football.
00:08 He's a hard worker, very competitive.
00:11 So two competitive people going at it,
00:14 trying to push each other to be better each and every day.
00:17 That's my brother.
00:18 I love him to death and without him, I wouldn't be in a situation like this.
00:23 >> What was your favorite ball to throw to him?
00:25 >> I mean, it's pretty obvious, slot fade, throw a fade ball to him.
00:29 >> Jayden, what was your meetings like with the Raiders,
00:31 especially with Coach Pierce and your relationship?
00:33 >> Yeah, it was great.
00:35 Obviously going in there, our new coach, Antonio Pierce.
00:39 But just overall meeting the whole staff, meeting everybody, it was great, great energy.
00:44 Be able to sit down and talk ball.
00:47 >> Can you envision yourself playing in Vegas under Pierce?
00:49 >> Yeah, I mean, I can envision myself playing anywhere.
00:53 So I have to not know him.
00:57 I was at ASU with him, but not even just him, but just everybody.
01:00 I'm just grateful to be in this position, this opportunity.
01:05 >> Jayden, you mentioned the competitiveness.
01:07 You run around to take a lot of hits and stop on the way, and then you depart the game.
01:10 Have you ever taken a lot of hits and stopped on the way?
01:13 >> Going forward, take fewer hits, but as a competitive person,
01:16 I mean, I always wanna fight for that extra yards.
01:19 Being a little too greedy sometimes, but I was blessed,
01:23 and God blessed me to be able to bounce back up.
01:25 >> Do you feel like you should do first pick over us?
01:27 >> I just wanna go to the best situation.
01:30 It's as a first pick if that's the 32nd pick.
01:32 I'm just blessed overall just to be here.
01:36 No matter where I hit my name, I'll be happy.
