Press Pass | Emmanuel Pregnon Media Zoom Call | 2026 NFL Draft

0:00Hello, everyone. We have a manual here for you. Uh, as always, if you have a question, please recording and progress. We will go ahead and start with Jamal, followed by Mia. Congratulations, Emmanuel. Uh, just what was this draft process while I can, I mean, how do these feel to officially be a Jaguar? It feels great. I'm, I'm forever grateful. I feel like the man at hour, um, this process, you know, it was up and down. I just kept my head, kept my head down, kept working, um, stayed true to the process and everything that's gotten me to this point. And now I'm here. Did you have any idea the Jaguars were interested? Uh, I believe they had, they had interest in me. Appreciate it, Emmanuel. Congratulations, man. Welcome, Jacksonville. Thank you. Hi, Emmanuel. Congratulations. Can you kind of give us an idea? I think a lot of people, I don't want to say they use the transfer portal as like a dirty word, but you're an example of someone who you go from the group of five level up to the power four all the way to the college football

1:03playoff. Can you just describe your journey from high school to where you eventually finished your college career at Oregon? Yeah, for sure. So coming out of high school, you know, I wasn't very heavily touted. I wasn't looked at, but I didn't let that discourage me. You know, I knew that it was work to be done, um, work needed to be put in and I was willing and ready to do whatever I needed to do to get the exposure that I needed so I could do my part on the field. Um, you know, I came in, um, Tom Thomas Jefferson went to Wyoming, um, you know, got another opportunity went to USC and then got another opportunity and went to Oregon. Go to the matriots. Awesome. Congrats, Emmanuel. Just, um, in terms of, in terms of what, um, what you bring to the table, you know, for Jaguar fans who may not know, what would you say to them? I would say, um, a tireless work ethic, you know, relentless mentality, just like an absolute

2:09dog mentality, willing and willing and ready to do whatever it takes to help the team, to, uh, help the team win and succeed and just honestly dominate because that's the type of player I feel like I am as a dominator. I'm posed my will on others, whether they like it or not, and that's what I'm going to be there to do. And it seems like you played, uh, some of the most snaps and college football over the last several years, just in terms of durability, how were you able to stay so healthy and just be able to keep going throughout the years? Yeah, that's the consistency and routine and understanding that it takes more work than, um, honestly, just going to your trainers and them giving you a sheet to do to take care of your body. It comes down to how, um, the initiative and how willing you are to really learn about those things, learn about your body, what is, what works for you, what doesn't work for you, and then create your process, create your routine in order to sustain a healthy body and be durable, have longevity. Awesome. Congratulations.

3:13Again. Thank you. All right. Thanks, Emmanuel. Thank you.
