Jacob Kibodi talks 2-TD performance | Saints-Titans Postgame | 2024 NFL Preseason Week 3

how do you feel about your uh your performance today uh it was good uh got to score touchdowns and uh I mean that was a dream come true you know I mean being from lisiana that's a blessing so everybody dream that as a kid doing that in the super doome just I mean you started down down the road there but you know doing that in the super that me too everything it's a blessing like that's what you dream of being here you know being a kid from Louisiana so family definitely my mom my mom's here and my brothers and everything so it was you know exciting game you yeah what was that experience like well it was my um my first touchdown ball so it wasn't like a game just how would you describe like your your last couple weeks it seems like you kind of come on strong in practice and everything and then to turn that into really good production um it's all about getting better you know um just working on the details of like my track on outside Zone and and you know uh just trying to just continue to grow as a player you know what I mean so um I think I did that throughout Camp I just kept on growing as a player so did did you just kind of did it also kind of settle down and maybe feel like you belong after definitely definitely definitely I definitely feel like I belong um but just got to keep working um see what happens you know praying for the best but uh yeah just keep working every day um and just for for someone like you was just trying to make it like how important is it to to put I mean that's that's everything you know you know that's what you know we watch as Saints but also other teams are on the league that's what they watch as well so um you always want to go out there and have a good you know performance so had the on the first touchdown drive you had four runs three of them were double digit runs what was working for you that dri I credit the o line and you know receivers blocking uh and the coaching you know I'm saying calling the right place have you gotten much time with Kyle man speaking of Kyle we just talking about it uh so actually we both were like late additions to the shine bow and um our lockers were right next to us to each other and then we came here and like bro what you know what I mean it was crazy but uh that's my guy you know he did a great job today you know opening up POS and everything so that's my guy what did you think of spenc I mean he's spectacular he's you know full of talent uh y'all saw it out there the throw he made to uh EQ I mean it's crazy you know what I mean so he's full of talent what would he like in the he has a Swagger about him that you know uplifts everybody that's around him so that's that's what I say about him that's the biggest thing should a bit of a blend today of finesse and a little bit of power especially on the second touchdown R just with this with this running scheme how do you feel that it kind of the goal is to be like a balance back so showing finesse and power um with speed and then you know it also just just so um it it allows you to be a complete back you know what I mean so allows you to show all your you know your skills So speaking of that how much PR do you take little bit of pass protection every now and then oh you have to you have to you have if you're a running you have to pass protect to be in NFL so um we work on that every day so that's that's a big thing is that something you've always kind of made sure was a part of your game or did you have to kind of learn that at some point um I think it's something that all backs have to learn because you know growing as a kid you just want to get the ball and you know go s touchdowns and everything but um you you have to learn how to pass protect where that reality kind of set in for you uh College definitely definitely in college did you ever get a chance to play in high school or or I didn't in high school um I went to UL and we had two bowl games here and I wasn't able to play in them um it's crazy but you know I played now and you know I told myself you know God you know save this moment for me right now so I'm glad I was able to come out here and have a good show that crazy you had to wait this long I know man yeah but it was wor to do jaob what's the rest of the day look like you got your friends and family in town you had two touchdowns to day yall having a dinner to celebrate how how's the rest of the day go for you we're definitely going to uh go probably have dinner and celebrate definitely how do you approach the next couple days as you kind of wait to see how theost decisions kind of shap uh I mean it's out of my control now you know I mean it's in God's hands so all I can do is pray and hope for the best J Reserve spot you got tonight I mean like where we going to eat tonight I don't know yet I don't know yet I don't know but we want to eat good though for sure mention how much it was a dream to score a touchdown here talking about leaving in God's hands when it comes 53 but just for you being from here how much would it mean to make this3 man it means everything uh I mean again I used to be a kid here watching you know like Duce and Reggie and Drew Brees play Mar you know what I mean as a little kid um so now that I'm on the team you know to make the team it would be just you know a dream come true which one of those guys did you model your your game after at that time all of them I'm a big fan of Reggie Bush but also D like the power dece and you know the Finesse of Reggie um I definitely want to I have both of them so definitely was that cool to be a part of the moment the game kind of all guys definitely definitely that was a cool moment it was you know all the local guys uh it was led by Tyron but you know it was a great experience you checked a lot of experience boxes today I did I did I did appreciate y'all
