Leroy Jenkins Pre-Draft Presser

[Jiggly_333]

Hey Leroy, love the youtube video by the way. Chris Jones from the Baltimore Moon, wanted to hit you with some questions before you go rushing in. 

1.) Some slate you as a gentle giant, others call you a steam roller. What would be the best description of your running style? 

I would say I'm a bulldozer. I like to plow through the competition and punch through the line. That being said, I'm not afraid to go around the end and try my luck in the open field. D-Backs go down a bit easier than lineman, that's for sure. I know that people may worry about my speed in that situation, but that's definitely one of the areas I'm working on.

2.) You have huge size at a position with already great talent going into the draft. My question is, how would you feel being slotted primarily as a short yardage back or goalline back? 

All I want to do is make it to the endzone in any way that I can. If that means that I have to sit for a while while the smaller guy takes up the yardage, that's fine by me. If I can be the one picking up the yardage, even better.

3.) Any Running Back you model your game after? 

The first three I can think of are Marshawn Lynch, 2010 Peyton Hillis, and Emmitt Smith. The idea that as long as you keep your legs pumping, you will stay up and get through. I think all three are really good examples of that. If we're talking about someone who's playing right now, I think LeGarrette Blount is a great example as to how I want to play in this league.

4.) Are you okay playing Special Teams? 

I think I'm okay with running both sides of a special teams unit. I don't know if I've developed the agility to return kicks just yet, but that's definitely something I'd like to work on. I could definitely throw some blocks in and I think my previous experience in the linebacker position definitely prepared me for the role of a "wedge breaker" or at least a lead tackler in the unit.

5.) Favorite healthy meal, one that helps you watch your weight, but just tastes soooo good? 

Thank you for your time, and good luck in the Draft!

Any sort of shaved ice really. It's a dessert that doesn't have too much calories in it and if you do it right, the flavor is always great. The most common is lemon, but there's so many options. It's much healthier than ice cream, but it tastes just as good.
