Jack scored the Touchdown at Senior Bowl when time expired.

“My brother has some wings on me. He gave them to me, and let everything take place. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Tigre, nothing more than them. They are the reason I did what I did today. They were attributed to them everything,” Jack said after the game.

“It has been surreal only to be able to come and be in this game. It is an objective that you propose yourself. But if I had the option if it came here, I had the worst week of my life, ruin my draft stock, but that means that I could hug my brother at this time, I would take it.

“But, on the other hand, I don’t think I could have had the week I had if all that had not happened. His wings were on my side. He and Jesus Christ are the reasons why I could do all this.”

After being selected, the cameras caught Jack sharing emotional hugs with his family.
