 Welcome back to the NFL Combine today at the podium the defensive backs who are preparing for the 2023 draft. Here's a mashup of their comments. It's very important to me. I feel like I'm CB one for a reason. I feel like I'm the best corner here. So I'm just here to really show my talents and prove why. Definitely. I know it's going to take time and hard work to get the trust like I got the trust with Coach Franklin. But that's what I'm here to do and I'm willing to do that and sacrifice anything I got to do to get that approval. It took it took a couple years but it was great years that I needed. I wanted to leave last year but it was hard. I had a hard conversation with my parents and they told me I wasn't ready and I took that and listened to them because my dad's been there before. So I'll say just honing in on my skills getting more in depth with the playbook and really watching film. I'm playing different spots in college and coming to the league and that's still been one of the places like not having a set place and you know they asking me what's my preferred position and I feel like that's just a blessing because a lot of players don't have that opportunity to be as versatile and you know they have that set spot so going to a new team I can learn different positions and you know have a better chance of getting on the field faster. I just like playing ball so wherever I can do to help a team you know where they need me that's where I play. My team used me as the nickel spot so having a big nickel you know close to the line of scrimmage that can also you know help in a in a pass game is just another big body close to the line of scrimmage and it can help in a round force but also you know you have a good defensive player outside to help with pass game as well so it like I said just an honor and a blessing just to you know be able to put myself in positions like this. There's a lot of talk of comparing me to a lot of guys at the end of the day I'm myself I feel like I'm a original player is what I do. I do this sport I don't like to compare myself to anybody or try to be anybody. I'm Jair Brown I'm going to combine and perform the way I know I can perform and be the best version of me. It's just my maturity I think you know my football instincts my football IQ football 101 the whole nine you know just having a couple extra snaps on the field you know being a little bit older being a little bit more mature can kind of set me apart as well as you know my leadership skills. I can go into the into the into any team and I think you know helping the young freshmen or rookies kind of help each other kind of lead the way or acclimate to whatever new city we're a part of I think we'll you know set me apart. It's just I'm going to say again it's my ability react to what I see and just trust what my eyes are telling me. I think there's an instinct that I have that I just trigger on things and that's something that I trust. Definitely carry a chip for sure I wouldn't say it's a chip though I mean it definitely influenced me it showed me that I need to push for what I want if I want to go get something I've got to work for it. I think one thing that kind of that that I love about this sport and throughout this process is just seeing results in myself on and off the field. I think that's what kind of pushed me to play football honestly is just seeing results I mean results within the team results within myself making progress as a player and obviously just seeing who I turn into as a man. Honestly I'm just here just living in the moment you know I kind of went through this process at the senior bow when I was at the recent senior bow so just doing a lot of interviews and stuff but you know it's it's just a blessing to be out here you know everybody don't get this opportunity so I'm just taking it all in at once. Honestly just being able to you know be around the best seniors in the country you know what I'm saying and just being able to showcase my talents and showcase the best version of myself that was the main thing you know and just being around a lot of NFL scouts NFL coaches you know learning their ways of coaching you know what I'm saying that was that was the main thing that was stood out to me. Well honestly versatility you know what I'm saying being able to play the nickel to down both safety positions that's what that's what I I could honestly say and I know all those guys physical you know they're smart students of the game and you know they play fast and I feel like that's the same thing with me. My favorite call that I want to hear anything that has me coming down in a a strong hook because I feel like that's where my pitch issues come from so like our call and our defense will probably be like mint Billy Buzz alert something like that you know just continuous work you know never never giving up just keep going you know keeping my head on straight and you know a lot of support it was great and and I'm just ready to get to to get going I mean it mean it mean everything you know that's what I strive for my whole life you know all all I've worked for you know is here so I'm I'm excited to get going yeah some what they're getting is you know just someone that's going to be their best every day you know come out and be able to do multiple things from different positions and someone that's just like I said going to work every day and and bring a lot to the team. I wouldn't say I necessarily studied I've been playing the game since I was eight years old uh so I was taught the fundamentals of tackling when I was eight but who I look up as a huge uh sound tackler is Cam Chancellor and Troy Palamado. Very well man um this is an amazing opportunity just be just to be here I'm at the NFL Combine this is a dream of mine man and just continue to soak it in. Man I'm specifically my first love continuously was football. I would definitely say track definitely helped me um throughout the football aspect but man just be being able to focus on your technique and um being able to translate your speed and know when to use it specifically and how to use it um throughout your breaks or also run downfield vertically. Just just critiquing myself as hard as I can you know uh far as like stand on stand stand more fluid in my hips stand stand more square at the line of scrimmage using my hands more and given and making sure that I get a receive a hard time at the line making making them do things that they usually don't do so they don't get into their routes as fast because you know office is a time again so just do as much as I can out of line scrimmage to disrupt that.
