was pretty interested in me and, you know, they knew that the type of player I was, what I bring for the program. And, you know, I'm just, I didn't know what exactly was going to happen, but I'm so blessed to be in position and be picked by the Seahawks. What did you think, what made you believe the Seahawks were interested? What was it about you or your fit or your mesh with them when you talk to him? Yeah, me and the running back coach, Coach Hammack, we had a couple good

conversations, one at the combine and then one Zoom where we just talked about 45 minutes.

And, you know, just the straight ball and then getting to know each other. And it just felt

like it was going to be a good fit for me. Jadarian, how would you describe your running style and how it fits in what the Seahawks do offensively? Yeah, Seahawks, you know, love to run the ball. You see what they did in the Super Bowl and what really got them so that far. Winning at all is, you know, gather on the ball and what I can do

in the backfield and also protecting quarterback and catching out of the back hood is phenomenal,

but also the stretch game, outside zone, that's my bread and butter. So just being able to make

one decisive move and get vertical. Can you tell us more about your ability to help out in the passing game?

It looks like you didn't do that a ton, but obviously you're playing behind Jeremiah Love,

who they used a lot in that role.

Yeah, and that was the biggest thing to show Combine and Prode.

It was just my ability to catch the ball at the back field because I didn't show that as much on film.

But they saw what I can do.

They saw my route run got smoother at the pro day.

So just, you know, my knowledge about the game and put his man's on and stuff like that.

I showed what I can do at the Carmine and Prode as far as passing. Gerard, who are you celebrating with?

I'm sorry?

Who are you celebrating with?

Who's with you?

Yeah, I'm back home in Denison, Texas with my family and teammates in high school coaches and everyone, really.

What was it like getting that call and sharing that moment with your family and friends?

I was, wow, I was walking around out the whole bone, and so Seattle was up, I was like, all right, this is the last one, I'm gonna sit down. As I was going to sit down, I get the call, and the motions just hit. hit. I mean, it was, I thought I would be a little bit more calm, but that call is like the phone call

a little different when you get but that call is, that phone
