I be rollin’ with some young kings, young kings”

Jaelen Strong’s two-year career at Arizona State will go down as one of the best in school history. But based on his demeanor and his behavior, you’d never guess he was an All-American and a Bilektnikoff award semifinalist with more than 2,000 receiving yards and 150-plus receptions. He scored 17 touchdowns, and tossed the ball to the referee in the endzone every time, except for once.
