"I didn't really know if that was going to be my last conversation with him," Tiger said in an episode of "The Pivot" podcast on Tuesday. "I just said keep going, keep fighting, that I'll be with him soon, you know, to be with him, to see him. And how much I loved him."

Although Tiger wasn't drafted in the NFL, his brother Jack is looking forward to hearing his name called out at the draft.
