On Thursday, I was fortunate enough to attend former UW quarterback, Jake Locker’s NFL Draft Party in his hometown of Ferndale, WA. Having briefly met Jake before, and knowing how humble and down-to-earth he is, I was anxious to see where Jake would get drafted. I had my predictions, and was glad to see him go to the Tennessee Titans (number 4 out of my top 5 predictions) at number 8 in the draft picks. They are a great team and I know Jake will grow immensely with them.
During football season, I’ve gotten to know Jake’s family and am always surprised to find such a group of people. They are so well-grounded and supportive that it’s no surprise that Jake is actually a great guy without even a hint of arrogance- something that is so easily prevalent with society’s attitude. There are innumerous people that wish him the best in his professional career. Go Titans!
This was the sunset the night before the party. Gorgeous!
I love how the camera man is invading Frank’s kitchen.
You know you've found a great guy when he wears Carhartts, cowboy boots, and a sweatshirt to his own draft party.
Jake and his agent, Cam, on a VERY important phone call.
What father wouldn’t cry on a day like this?
Aww… Mother and son. The proud parents!
And… Back to work for us
