Jerry Iweh
Linebacker
Fairmont State
Ed Hunt: How did it feel out there during the Pro Day?
Jerry Iweh: It felt good. The nerves went away and I felt like I was in my natural element playing football. I felt really good and really strong.
Ed Hunt: Does Fairmont State have a Pro Day?
Jerry Iweh: Yes, Fairmont State does have a Pro Day. It’s right after this. It’s at 2 o’clock. But I got invited to West Virginia, so I came.
Ed Hunt: Are you more of an in-the-box safety?
Jerry Iweh: Yeah, we ran a 4-2-5, so I was in the box. I was kind of an outside linebacker and nickel back type. I worked out with the linebackers today. So I guess that’s what I am.
Ed Hunt: Would you say you are more of a hybrid guy who can cover tight ends?
Jerry Iweh: Absolutely! I can cover tight ends, running backs and the slot. You can put me at the goal line, and I can cover receivers. I really do believe I am a hybrid player.
Ed Hunt: If you were to go undrafted, is there a team you think you would be a fit with?
Jerry Iweh: Any team! I feel like what I bring to the table can benefit any team because you could put me at so many positions. I am a safety, nickel back, outside backer and edge rusher. I can play many positions.
Ed Hunt: What position did you play at Fairmont State?
Jerry Iweh: We ran a 4-2-5. I played that outside backer, safety and hybrid position.
Ed Hunt: Can you list your strengths as to why you should be a day three pick?
Jerry Iweh: I have strong cover skills. I’m lengthy and rangy. I am quick on my feet and I can get into the passing lanes. I can cause havoc and cause turnovers. I like to force fumbles. I am just a selfless playmaker. I love the team!
