Lester leaning towards a bright Future

Lester Jean started as a true freshman, struggling at time, but really 
started to make an impact toward the end of last season. Break out games 
against FIU & the Bowl game against Memphis gave Owl fans a look at the 
potential of what the future will look like, as a play maker.



Heading into the '08 season what were some of your goals?

My only goal was to be a productive team player. 

What were some of the things you felt you had to improve on in the

off-season?

I needed to improve on my route running and catching the ball more

consistently. 

What are the biggest influences in your life that help define who you 
are as a person and football player?

Definitely what I went through growing up my father and Young Jeezy "Thug

Motivation 101".

You are part of a talented receiving corp. What does Lester Jean need to do

to help establish himself as a receiver?

I need to learn from the older guys, take what I can and keep working hard.

With the success of last year, it raised the level of expectations coming

into '08 especially with a veteran team returning, has those expectations

put any additional pressure on the players this year?

Not really, with success comes a lot of things. We just need to play hard.

Play like we know how to play and everything will work out for the best.

Focus a little bit more in practice. Study a little bit harder.

And what does the offense need to do to get its 
swagger back?

Make a couple deep plays and make a couple of 
explosive plays.

What are some of the key elements for the offense to have success against

Middle Tennessee?

We have to establish the run. Protect the pass. Get a couple of quick

screens and go deep on blitzes. 

Away from football, what are some of your hobbies?

Listening to music and chilling.
