Jul 09, 2023Getting to Know Jaguars Rookie Tight End Brenton Strange
Mar 02, 2024Jaguars Senior Correspondent
JACKSONVILLE – Since Head Coach Doug Pederson arrived in Jacksonville there has been much discussion about his affinity for the tight end position. After meeting rookie Brenton Strange, I understand why he likes this tight end in particular. The second-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft has a tantalizing blend of size, speed and aggression. He loves roaming the middle of the field – and the challenge of taking his successful college career and converting it to the professional game. Strange was just off the practice field and fresh from an autograph session with 100 or so fans after a hot, sticky morning on the Miller Electric Center fields. We talked for maybe 20 seconds before I realized this young man was going to become a go-to guy in the locker room.

Question: How has the college-to-NFL transition been for you so far?
Q: Did you know the scenario you were walking into in Jacksonville with a rising team, a franchise quarterback and an offense that was ready to take the next step?
Q: There's two kinds of players when it comes to professional football. The first is the player who senses the pressure to compete at a high level and perform, and he either embraces it or shrinks from it. The second is the guy who isn't fazed by the pressure because the pressure he places on himself is greater than anything his teammates or media or fanbase can assign. Which one are you?
Q: When you were a student athlete at Penn State, you had to balance academics and athletics. As of now, you only have to worry about football. How has that transition been for you?
Q: Is there a coach, or a mentor, or a parent, who you think has given you something that helps you at this level? Someone that you would say really helped you get to where you're at?
Q: Are you sharing this with her and is she enjoying the opportunity to be a part of the NFL?
Q: Where's your gratitude level for where you are right now and all the people that helped you to get here and the opportunity in Jacksonville?
Q: Are you a beach guy? Do you think you'll enjoy playing football and living in Florida?
