On social media, Benjamin St-Juste referred to the “Career Day” held at the University of Minnesota on Thursday morning as the most important job interview in his life. At the dawn of this beautiful moment in front of the NFL planet, the Quebec Corner Guard responded to the challenge with confidence and remained calm.
A day before the usually decisive day of the NFL draft in Cleveland from April 29th to May 1st this year, St-Juste appeared casually in video conferences with the media.
“I didn’t set specific goals for myself. He said: “I know everything will go smoothly and I will achieve good results. “

On “Professional Day”, St Just will star with his teammate, wide receiver Rashod Bateman (Rashod Bateman), and most analysts see it as a prospect in the first round. The latter spoke only good things to Quebecers on Wednesday’s video conference.
“During training, Ben, and I each contributed our own strength for our money! So far, he is the best defensive player I have encountered in my career. The team that chooses him will get Quite athletes and very good people. I think Ben will have a big “show” [jeudi] He said: “If a few teams surpassed him, it would be wrong.”
