Fullback Jerome Felton took some time out of his day to answer some questions with FFLiveWire's Luke Nicholson about his career at Furman, his ability to play running back and fullback, and his NFL aspirations.Luke Nicholson: Who is your biggest role model? Why?
Jerome Felton: My mom, she has sacrificed a lot for me, my brothers, and my sister, so a lot of the things I do are to make sure she can enjoy some of the things she didn’t get to do while she was making sure we were always taken care of.
Luke Nicholson: What is your greatest football moment to date?
Jerome Felton: Beating Georgia Southern at home to win the Southern Conference Championship.
Luke Nicholson: Is there a situation in your past where you overcame adversity? How did you do it and how has it made you a better person?
Jerome Felton: The only adversity I feel like I’ve really had to overcome is coming from a really small high school and college, and working to put myself in the position that I’m in now.
Luke Nicholson: What did you gain from your experience at the East-West Shrine Game and what did you learn from Dick Vermeil?
Jerome Felton: At the East-West game I learned that the NFL is a business and you have to carry yourself as a professional on and off the field. Just being able to be coached by Coach Vermeil was an honor; it was fun being out there with all the guys, working hard.
Luke Nicholson: Are scouts planning to work you out at running back, as well as fullback? How do you feel about the possibility of a position change?
Jerome Felton: Well I played fullback and tailback in college, and I think some scouts have me at different positions, I am comfortable at either position and I will adapt to whatever the team that selects me wants me to do
Luke Nicholson: Who is the best player you have faced during your career?
Jerome Felton: Chad Nkang was the best player I faced in college.
Luke Nicholson: If you could have any super power, what would you choose? Why?
Jerome Felton: If I could pick one super power it would be super human strength, then nobody could ever tackle me.
Luke Nicholson: What one thing do you have to work on the most to excel at the NFL level?
Jerome Felton: I want to work on technique, and I just want to keep evolving my game, you can’t ever get complacent.
Luke Nicholson: What current NFL player does your game most resemble?
Jerome Felton: I think I resemble a few players, Jerome Bettis, Mike Alstott, but I don’t really model my game after certain players.
Luke Nicholson: If someone decided to make a movie about your life, what actor would play you and what would the movie be titled?
Jerome Felton: A young Denzel, "The Sky’s the Limit"
Luke Nicholson: Which teams have expressed interest in you at this point?
Jerome Felton: I’ve talked to a lot of teams, so its hard to tell at this point.
Luke Nicholson: Is there a specific team you hope to play for?
Jerome Felton: Nope, I just want to be in the NFL.
Luke Nicholson: Are you a cat or a dog? Why?
Jerome Felton: Dog, I’m aggressive and competitive.
Luke Nicholson: Why should a NFL team select you over other fullbacks in this draft?
Jerome Felton: Because I’m the most versatile and complete fullback in this years draft.
Luke Nicholson: What are your plans for your career after football?
Jerome Felton: I want to go into business and stay in the sports realm.
Luke Nicholson: If you could block for any NFL running back, who would you choose? Why?
Jerome Felton: Adrian Peterson, we are both young and we could do something special for a long time to come.
Luke Nicholson: As a fullback, which is more rewarding: Rushing for a touchdown or making the block that gets the running back into the endzone?
Jerome Felton: Both have their differences, but they’re equally gratifying because both help the team.
Luke Nicholson: Finish the following sentence: Jerome Felton is tougher than…
Jerome Felton: Every other fullback or big back in this year’s draft.
Luke Nicholson: Thank you for your time, Jerome. The staff at FFLiveWire wishes you the best of luck in all of your NFL endeavors.
