I don't have Logan tell his story about draft.
All right, man, I'm going back 12 years
here, so, so some of the details are
getting a little fuzzy. I might fabricate some things
out to me, so I went number one overall
. We gotta fact check some of this. So
look, I left college junior all as a I
was a first team All-American. I left college as
a junior, right? And back then, I
don't know if they do it now, but you
submit for a draft grade. You set your tape
in to some committee and they. Will send you
a round grade where you're projected to go so you
know whether to come stay in school or leave,
right? So I got a 2nd round draft grade
. So I'm like I'm coming out. They're saying
at no worse I'll go in the 2nd round.
I go through the combine process. I go through
the pro days. I go through everything, and
it is long and grueling, but I just thought
about that money like, man, this is once
a lifetime opportunity for me to get generational wealth.
Everything matters here yeah. 45. So everything matters
here, right? I gotta do everything I gotta
do to go get this money and I, and
I really attacked the process and um my college coach
Greg Schiano was coaching for the Buccaneers, so I
had a good, he had a, he,
he just got the Buccaneers job. I had a
good feeling that I was gonna go second round to
the Buccaneers and day one happens first round, I
don't go in the 1st round. OK, that's
cool. Second round, here's my round. The
Buccaneers come up there and they select another cornerback.
And that one hurt right there in the heart.
I was like, oh man. Then I just
seen a run on cornerback start to happen and next
thing you know I'm the 13th cornerback taken when I
left as a junior, supposed to be a top
5 cornerback taken, and in that process, man
, I was so upset and frustrated and thought about
every pick get like Nick said, the night gets
longer and longer. I don't be in the 83rd
pick, but I look at what a blessing it
was. I went to New England Patriots 9 picks
later my college roommate, best friend Deron Harmon gets
drafted the Patriots as well, so my house.
Almost erupted when I went, but we blew the
ceiling off when my best friend went. We went
to the same team. We ended up winning two
Super Bowls. So in perspective, I was stressing
so much that day. I was taking walks inside
the house. I couldn't believe I had the list
of the cornerbacks drafted in front of me and said
I'm gonna prove them all wrong. But in time
I kinda learned to appreciate it. It works out
how it works out. I ended up changing my
family's life and having a long career, but I
just think how young and immature I was at the
moment because of how much it meant to me at
that time. But New England Patriots drafted me was
the best thing. I'll take that over the 2nd
round any day in my life, and you joined
a couple other Rutgers guys. Oh, we all
went there. Everyone got everybody on draft and I
was playing my best friends, having a lot of
fun winning games, so I'm happy how it turned 00:02:22.838 --> out.
