Louisiana vs Indianapolis: Running Back Chris Grant Jr.

Houma, La. – Reporter Harry P. Ness: Chris, congratulations on your performance during the preseason game against the Indianapolis Ramblers. You stepped up when Duane Sammons got injured and rushed for 49 yards. How do you feel about your overall performance?

Chris Grant Jr.: Thank you. I appreciate the compliments. I felt good about my performance during the game. Stepping in for Duane was an unexpected opportunity, but I believe in my abilities, and I was determined to make the most of it. The offensive line did a great job, and I was able to make some positive runs and contribute to the team’s success.

Reporter 2: Ben Dover suffered a hyper-extended elbow injury during the game, and his status for the season opener against the Atlanta Swarm is uncertain. How do you feel about the situation, and are you ready to step up if needed?

Chris Grant Jr.: First and foremost, I hope Duane has a speedy recovery. Injuries are always tough to deal with, but we’re a resilient team, and we’ll support him through this. If Duane is not ready to go for the season opener, I’ll be more than ready to step up and take on a bigger role. As a rookie, I want to seize every opportunity to contribute to the team’s success, and I’ll be prepared to do my best if called upon.

Reporter Jack MeHoff: You had a good showing during the preseason game, showcasing your skills as a running back. How do you plan to build on this performance and make an impact in the regular season?

Chris Grant Jr.: The preseason game was a valuable experience for me. It allowed me to get a taste of the speed and intensity of the SFL, and I learned a lot from the game. Moving forward, I’ll continue to work hard in practice, study film, and improve my game. I want to be a versatile asset for the Louisiana Revolution, whether it’s running the ball, catching passes, or blocking for our quarterback. I’ll stay focused on continuous improvement and being the best player I can be for the team.

Reporter Pat McKrotch: The season opener against the Atlanta Swarm is fast approaching. How do you feel about the matchup and the potential opportunity to contribute in a crucial divisional game?

Chris Grant Jr.: The season opener against the Atlanta Swarm is a big game for us, and I’m excited about the opportunity to compete in a divisional matchup. The Swarm is a tough opponent, but we’ve been preparing diligently during training camp and the preseason to face them. As a rookie, I’ll approach the game with determination and focus, and I’m eager to contribute to our team’s success in any way I can.

Reporter Jenny Talya: Lastly, as a rookie running back, how has it been adjusting to the professional level and playing in the SFL? What have you learned so far, and what do you hope to achieve in your first season with the Louisiana Revolution?

Chris Grant Jr.: The transition to the professional level has been challenging, but it’s also been an incredible learning experience. The speed of the game and the level of competition are higher, and I’ve had to adjust quickly to keep up. I’ve learned the importance of attention to detail, understanding offensive schemes, and being disciplined in my approach.

In my first season with the Louisiana Revolution, I hope to make a positive impact and contribute to our team’s success. I want to grow as a player, build strong relationships with my teammates, and do whatever it takes to help us win games. I’m here to work hard, learn, and be a dependable asset to our team.
