Summary

Another two-parter, with the fastest man in the #NFLSU Draft class...and Zach Von Rosenberg.

Kary Vincent Jr. was born a sprinter.  Speed is his trademark, whether he's on the football field or the track.   But during his journey from LSU to the NFL, KJV has proved he's a fighter, too.   On today's Hey Fightin' Podcast, Vincent Jr. talks the heights -- winning the 2019 national championship -- as well as the depths -- losing his father just before the 2019 Fiesta Bowl -- of his time in Baton Rouge.   He also discusses the difficulty of stepping away from football for a year, what he learned through the opt-out process, and how hungry he is to get back on the field.

Zach Von Rosenberg knows the road to the pros better than anyone else in this year's #NFLSU​ draft class.  That's because he's traveled it before.   The former MLB Draft pick is now going through the process again, this time for the NFL. He reflects on the similarities, the differences, his favorite moments as a Tiger, and how long he can kick at the next level.
