Nick Brossette
Running Back

LSU

Alex Khvatov:  Tell us about your overall experience at the 2019 East/West Shrine Game. 

Nick Brossette:  It means a lot.  I get to showcase my talent.  We visited the hospital with the kids.  Being here is an honor.  They selected me, so I am enjoying every moment of it. 

Alex Khvatov:  You finally got your chance your senior season to show what you can do.     

Nick Brossette:  I just had to be patient.  There were two good guys in front of me.  I learned a lot from them.  It all paid off in the end.  I am just blessed to be in this situation right now. 

Alex Khvatov:  What does it mean to you to follow in the footsteps of Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice? 

Nick Brossette:  I just had to go out there and be myself.  I knew that I could do it.  I did it my whole high school career.  I had a lot of stuff going on.  My brother passed away, and I tore my ACL.  I just had to get my confidence back.  I played well my senior year.     

Alex Khvatov:  What are your strengths? 

Nick Brossette:  I am a complete running back.  I can do it all.  I can run between the tackles.  I can pass protect. 

Alex Khvatov:  How did you become such a good pass protector?

Nick Brossette:  If you go to LSU as a RB, if you can’t pass protect, you won’t be playing.  If you can’t be a three-down back at LSU, you won’t see the field.    

Alex Khvatov:  What areas of your game are you trying to improve upon?

Nick Brossette:  I want to work on my speed.  My football speed is good.  But I just got to keep elevating my game.  I want to keep getting better. 

Alex Khvatov:  Where are you currently training for the NFL Draft?

Nick Brossette:  At Pete Bommarito’s in Miami. 

Alex Khvatov:  What is the highlight of you career up to this point?

Nick Brossette:  The first game against Miami.  I scored my first TD.  It was one of my breakout games.       

Alex Khvatov:  What one word best describes you?

Nick Brossette:  Hungry.
