Part 1: Jabril Cox has nothing left to prove. In three seasons at the FCS level with North Dakota State, he was a three-time national champion, a First-Team All-American, and an unstoppable force on defense. In his lone season at LSU, his talent spoke for itself, whether he was stuffing running backs, covering tight ends, or picking off quarterbacks. Cox joined Hey Fightin' Podcast to talk about his journey from frigid Fargo to balmy Baton Rouge and on to the NFL.
Part 2: Tyler Shelvin anchored LSU's defensive line in its run to the 2019 national championship. After opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19, Shelvin is captivating the imaginations of NFL Draft scouts with his size, power, and production. Shelvin talks about his path to the Draft on this episode of Hey Fightin' Podcast.

Let's go back a year when you decided to come here and show what you could do at this level and then fast forward to now. Did you accomplish what you wanted to accomplish personally?
