Ashton Jeanty was able to collect a “small lesson” from his father before the NFL draft.
The future first round has been preparing to listen to his name called in Green Bay on Thursday night and fulfill his life of a lifetime of being a professional.
But his father, Harry, served in the Navy, and was not an easy process to join.

“Before entering the army, they do several tests, MRI, projections. It is the same way as in the draft and combining, you have to do the same. One funny thing,” Jeanty told Pak Gazette Digital in a recent interview.
Jeanty tried what his father used to do while he was in service when he and his father made a visit to the base of the National Air Guard of General Mitchell in Milwaukee in association with Usea.
“It really was obvious to me. My relationship with my father, he in the army, but also grateful to Usaa for the association, the greeting to the service partner. Visit the National Guard of Milwaukee, enter the life, see what they really do. I am playing Call of Duty, but that is not real life,” Jeanty joked.

“It was great to see their daily process and how detailed it is, what they are doing daily. We could not do what we do without their service.”
“It was a drug. I think the most important thing was to see how detailed it is everything and how there is little space for errors and errors. Little or none, honestly. They are doing these things every day, so that precision and attention to detail is surprising. It gave me a greater appreciation for what they do and how they are protecting us every day.”
Jeanty said he has been able to understand much more about his father’s day to day now that he is older.
“I would not give too many details about what they were doing. Now that I am old, he tells me about things that happened on the ship and things like that. It was very young before, so I really did not understand it. But now, there are definitely conversations,” Jeanty said.

Jeanty won the second most hurried yards in a university football season last year with Boise State, at the end of the record of all the time of Barry Sanders.
