College star's heartbreaking interview on brother killed in New Orleans terror attack after scoring Senior Bowl winning TD

One month on from his brother's death in the New Orleans terror attack, college football player Jack Bech gave a hugely emotional interview after an MVP performance in the Senior Bowl. On Saturday, TCU receiver Bech had six catches for 68 yards and the game-winning touchdown, and credited his late brother Tiger for helping him shine. 'My brother had some wings on me,' he said in an interview with NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. 'He gave em' to me and he let that all take place.'.

Jack, who also gave thanks to Jesus Christ for his performance, added that he would instantly trade the impressive week he had in front of NFL teams in Mobile, Alabama for a chance to see his brother again. 'It's been surreal, just being able to come and take place in this game,' he said. 'It's a goal you set for yourself. But if I had the option, that if I came here, had the worst week ever, ruined my draft stock, but that means I could give my brother a hug right now, I would take that.'.
'On the flip side of that, I don't think I could have had the week I had if all that wouldn't have happened. So like I said, his wings were on my side.'. Jack Bech credited his brother with helping him thrive in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. Bech, seen in high school, was one of the 14 people killed in the New Orleans terror attack.
