Draft Diamonds Free Agent Interview: Jordan Talley, Tight End
Hello, This is @jrberendzen on Twitter and this is one of my free agent interviews where I ask very deserving free agents questions about the players themselves and about what a team would get in these players. All of these players should get picked up by NFL and CFL teams and get a shot at being a career football player. So I hope you all read this interview here.

5.What do you hope to accomplish if you get into the NFL?
I think it would be to earn a starting spot wherever it may be. From tight end to fullback or special teams! However, I could contribute and play a role on a team!
6.If you were on an island and could only have three things which three things would you have?
Bow & arrow, machete, and a fishing pole.
7.If you could live anywhere in the world where and why ?
Probably Breckinridge, Colorado. I went skiing for my first time last year and loved it, loved the towns, the food, and the snow!
8.What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?
I loved to hit people and smack heads!
9.What is your favorite workout?
Any crazy bench workout at Ochsner Performance Training with Coach Lance Lacoste.
10.What would a team get in a player like you?
A team would get a hard-working, gritty, coachable guy who wants to learn and has no problem with running through someone’s face!
11.If your life was a tv show what would you call it and why?
Probably keep it short and sweet and call it TALLEY like Dave about Lil Dicky just because I do so much dumb stuff with friends and family!
12.If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day who and why?
Probably Gronk in either Las Vegas or Miami because we’d have a crazy day!
