Jonathan Giles played with both Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow in college. Now after earning his master's degree, he's charting his own path to the NFL.
"I remember riding around in the car with my dad. One day I told him, 'I want to play football, dad,'" said Giles."When I say it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy at all. It took a lot of hard work, grinding, dedication," he said.
The stats and records, as impressive as they are, say one thing, but they don't tell the whole story. He took that foundation to Texas Tech where then-head coach Kliff Kingsbury moved him to receiver, catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. Giles transferred after the 2016 season to LSU with Joe Burrow as his quarterback."I grew up at TSU. My dad worked there for 21 years as the video coordinator. He'd be up there from 8 to 5. I'd be up there from 8 to 5, running around at 6 years old," Giles said.
"My mom and dad have been harping on grades since I started school. My mom has always been hard on me. Some nights, I'd be up till 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning and have to be back up at 6 for workouts. I want to be a high school coach or athletic director," he explained.
