00:00The finalist is Steve McNair, and saying like an HBCU, one time like an HBCU has been finalist

00:11for 30 years for Steve McNair.

00:14How much did Jackson's being in the HBCU environment help get you to this point?

00:20And your kind of thoughts, if you know, remember, or what you know about him?

00:29Jackson's been helping me out a lot, you know, to build my confidence.

00:33You know, I'm going out there playing with dogs and sniffing meat, and I think they

00:36got talent, but that's a lot of talent everywhere.

00:38So it definitely helped me build my confidence.

00:40You give them your money, you get to see what he's worth because you play offense and defense.

00:45But I assume when you go to the NFL, you're going to be the next Chuck Fenner, or are

00:48you going to be like the last guy?

00:49You've absolutely never heard of him, right?

00:51My generation, who else?

00:52Yeah, I'm going to try to do what I can, you know, whatever I can do to help the team.

00:56If the coaches allow me to play both sides of the ball, I'll be more than happy to play.

00:59Does that mean they can double your salary?

01:01Yeah, definitely.

01:03Check with the union.

01:05Travis, how many catches does Travis Hunter ever see?

01:09I don't know.

01:10It's that accent.

01:11I just made it.

01:15Travis, you've collected a lot of hardware this year.

01:18I think all you ever do is joke about it.

01:20All you ever do is joke about it, like somewhere in the back of the closet.

01:23What are you going to do with all your hardware?

01:24They're going to be front and center in my game room.

01:26Hopefully, I get to be able to put all the uniforms that I played in this season, all

01:31the fleece and all the drip that I had on me, you know, in like some type of picture

01:35frame and have the trophies in front.

01:37I mean, it's going to mean a lot to me.

01:39I ain't dream of having all these trophies, so I got to find out something.

01:42And what has it meant all year that your quarterback has been pushing all year?

01:48Let's talk about Travis from the high level, just the support that he's given you.

01:52Like I always say, you know, he's like a brother to me, so it's kind of normal now.

01:56But, you know, everybody else, they're getting to see that he actually loves me a lot.

02:01You know, he tried to take the adjudicative shot, you know, a mile ahead.

02:06But, you know, he's like a brother to me, man.

02:08I can't say nothing more about him than that.

02:11I love this guy, you know.

02:13He's like my backbone.
