Josh: Which teams have shown the most interest in you so far?
Jerome: I talked to T ampa Bay, Green Bay, Seattle, and Minnesota .
Josh: What was the Shrine Game like for you?
Jerome: It was good. It was different because all of the best players from college were there. It was fun when everyone has the same mindset and it is up-tempo. I am big about competition and being around the best. I met some good people. Thomas Brown was pretty impressive out there.
Josh: Do you have any expectations on draft day such as a round or team?
Jerome: I don't want to say a team because whoever you talk to doesn't meant much because it is still unexpected. The higher the better for me, I want to be the top fullback off the board.
Josh: What are your future goals outside of playing in the NFL?
