“Last words I ever told him was I love him and keep fighting. So that’s what I’m gonna live by from now on, just keep fighting, keep going no matter the circumstance but just keep on going.” Jack Bech

We try to find the right words to capture the impact and emotion of this episode, but this is one, that when you listen to it, you’ll understand how rare and special of a human Jack Bech is and why any NFL team who drafts him, will instantly be better for it. Whether you’re an athlete, a dreamer, or someone rebuilding from a loss, this episode is a reminder: the pivot isn’t the end — it’s where growth begins.

Ryan, Channing and Fred visit Lafayette, Louisiana, home of the Bech family and sit with Jack at the place his football career all started, St. Thomas More Catholic High School. Recent tragedy struck his family as his older brother, Tiger, was a victim of the Bourbon Street New Year’s Eve attack. Jack opens up on the horrific moments of that night as he reflects on losing his brother who he idolized in every aspect from football to his faith to being his best friend since he was a young boy. In a special moment, he reveals something that he hasn’t publicly shared yet about losing his brother and why now is the right time to share,

With Jack projected to be a day two pick in the upcoming NFL draft, he shares that NFL teams are getting a two-for-one special as he is no longer just playing for him, but his brother too. As a wide receiver, his football journey has been anything but linear. From LSU to TCU, Jack opens up about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the headspace it takes to bet on yourself when the world starts doubting you. Coming off a dominant final year in college ball, Jack shares how he’s turned grief into grit—navigating injuries, transfers, and the pressure of expectations while holding tight to his love for the game.

His family’s heartbreak is added-fuel towards fulfilling his dream of a long successful NFL career and names a few star wide receivers he admires and models his game after from Cooper Kupp to LSU friends Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Malik Nabers, taking pieces of their style to craft into his own.

Jack is ready for wherever his journey takes him next and his guardian angel will be there to join him in any NFL city he calls home, and if you don’t believe him, just watch.

The Pivot Family will be rooting for Jack and his family this weekend as his football fate is determined. Don’t forget to subscribe and comment below.
