Joe Gaiter: Congratulations on signing with an agent. Who did you sign with?
Daelin Young: I signed with Derrick Parker and His partner Mickey Washington.
Joe Gaiter: Why did you choose them?
Daelin Young: The reason I signed with them was because of how straight forward these guys were. They were professional but honest about the process and how everything works with me and my family. They were very patient, and were the least bit pushy about things. The offer was there and he allowed me to take my time before finally deciding.
Joe Gaiter: Was this a hard decision?
Daelin Young: Honestly, it was a little tough. After talking with Derrick, I knew I wanted to sign with him and his team but family is a big deal my way and I wanted to be sure my family were on board as well.
Joe Gaiter: How important was finding an agent?
Daelin Young: For me, having an agent was 50/50 on a scale of importance. I wanted someone to represent me but I also knew coming from a small school, my pro-day would be a big deal. I got an agent before my pro-day but d
efinitely would have gone up in importance immediately following my pro-day.
Joe Gaiter: Do you feel like you are headed in the right direction?
Daelin Young: I’m comfortable with the team around me and their ability to do good work. I think things are headed in the right direction, but ultimately I believe it’s up to me to finish what I’ve started. Super thankful things are falling into line the way they are.
Joe Gaiter: What does your mother feel about you entering into the NFL Draft?
Daelin Young: My mom is super excited. The process isn’t new to her. Just a different son. I think at this point she’s more concerned with me finishing my final semester in school strong!
Joe Gaiter: Final Words?
Daelin Young: Thankful for having such an awesome God, without him nothing is possible. I’m thankful for Washington and Associates Sports management wanted to take a chance on me. Couldn’t give my Mom, family and friends enough praise for continued support throughout my life. Wanted to thank my better half, Leslie Torres for being behind me and her family too. I can’t express how happy I am for myself and my little brother for chasing his football dreams too. He signed with Army West-point. Thank you guys for another interview. It’s greatly appreciated!
