Interviews with 2024 NFL Draft First Round Picks: Darius Robinson & Jordan Morgan
Here's some brief footage I captured during my time at the Senior Bowl
I had several interviews with 2024 NFL Draft first round picks during my week at the Senior Bowl. New Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jordan Morgan and Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darius Robinson were kind enough to give me a few minutes during the Senior Bowl media lunch. Below are their interviews.
For some background, the Senior Bowl media lunch is more of a speed dating event than a sit-down-style interview process. The media members outnumber the players significantly, so people usually just get a few minutes with some of the larger names.
Green Bay Packers No. 25: Jordan Morgan, OL Arizona
Arizona Cardinals No. 27: Darius Robinson, Edge Missouri
Indianapolis Colts No. 15: Laiatu Latu, Edge UCLA
I also had the chance to speak with new Indianapolis Colts pass rusher Laiatu Latu for an extended period of time at the players’ hotel. Latu has the best hands and pass rush plan of any defender in the 2024 class, and that cerebral approach translates to how he breaks down the game.
During our off-camera conversation, Latu broke down his approach to the end-of-practice one-on-one competition he had against Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga, including how he set Fuaga up with one pass rush rep to open a counter on the next rep. Latu’s football IQ is simply through the roof.
Latu also spoke very highly of his teammates, Gabriel and Grayson Murphy, who are also in the 2024 NFL Draft.
After speaking with Latu at the players’ hotel, I found him the next day during the media lunch. Unfortunately, he had a line of people waiting to speak to him, and the audio was a little messed up from being so close to the podium speakers. The brief clip below turned out alright.
