Jaguars list Halloween favorites

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Each Thursday I’ll post a blog in which five Jacksonville Jaguars players answer a question that has nothing to do with football. Hopefully it's a way for you to get to know the players a little better. Some weeks it will be a fun question. Others it will be a quirky or off-beat question. There also will be serious questions mixed in.

In keeping with the Halloween theme that we began last week, each player was asked to list his favorite candy, his favorite or most unique Halloween costume, and his favorite scary movie:

RB Jordan Todman

Favorite candy: That’s a tough question. Can’t go wrong with like a Kit-Kat, Twix, Snickers. Anything on the line of those bars you can’t go wrong.

Favorite/most unique costume: When you’re a little kid you’re more into it. I thought of Halloween as scary, so I would say back in the day when I had the Scream mask and squeeze it and the blood came down. I guess because I was into it I was really trying to scare people. When you were younger you really believed it.

Favorite scary movie: I don’t think I have a favorite, but Freddy vs. Jason ... Those ['Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Friday the 13th’ movies] are intense. Can’t go wrong with that.

LB Jeremiah George

Favorite candy: My favorite Halloween candy ... uh, I guess my favorite candy in general is Sour Patch Kids.

Favorite/most unique costume: I was a pirate and I think that was my best just because my mom and grandma, they put it all together and it was very creative. It was kind of out of the ordinary. I was probably like 5 or 6, but looking back at family photos that’s the best one. No parrot, but I had the eye patch and a little fake earring. It was pretty cool.

Favorite scary movie: Oh, man. Probably 'The Hills have Eyes.' It’s just weird. I feel like it could really happen, though, so I like that one.

RT Austin Pasztor

Favorite candy: Oooh. I like anything Reese’s.

Favorite/most unique costume: I don’t remember any really good ones I had. I was a pirate quite a bit. I probably had some good ones. I just don’t remember. I was always a big kid, but it didn’t always play into it. It was tough to go to the store and get a Power Rangers suit or something. Needed adult size.

Favorite scary movie: Probably 'The Shining.' I’m a fan of Jack Nicholson for sure. I just think it’s a good movie.

C Luke Bowanko

Favorite candy: Are we talking what they hand out or what I want? You go around and when you’re getting candy from people they hand out the small little Snickers and stuff. First of all, it’s got to be king sized, because if it’s not you’re wasting your time. If it not king size it’s got to be something like off the wall, like a Nerds rope or something. If you get a Nerd’s rope that’s, like, the haul of the century. It was kind of one of those things where you go through your little brothers' candy bag and just steal all the good candy. But I think king size or bust, and then Nerds rope is definitely No. 1. I eat it and it’s gone in like three seconds and then I’m wondering if I really ate it or not. It’s like an endless cycle of just stuffing your face.

Favorite/most unique costume: I was a lava lamp very recently. Maybe even as recent as this week, potentially. There’s been some rumors going around. It was a onesie, one size fits most. I think I was on the plus size of most, but I made it work. I think a lot of people thought I was a fish. They were mistaken because I was a lava lamp. It’s one of those things that’s really cool when you’re a kid and it’s cooler when you’re an adult and your it, so I thought it was pretty sweet.

Favorite scary movie: Oooh. I think the scariest horror movie is 'The Strangers.' You ever see that one? It’s when a couple up in a cabin in Seattle or Washington and just some random people just break in and screw with them all through the night for no reason. Just random. That movie is freaky because it’s actually kind of like, it could happen. That movie is freaky for sure. People have to check that one out.

OT Sam Young

Favorite candy: Tie between and Twix and Snickers. Oh, right Twix. Absolutely. The caramel, they drizzle it instead of flowing. Or whatever it is.

Favorite/most unique costume: I think I went as Darth Vader one year. That was pretty fun when I was little. A lot harder to find costumes [that fit as a big kid]. I know my mom helped me out making some a couple times. And then sometimes it was just I wore a Larry Bird jersey and went as Larry Bird.

Favorite scary movie: 'E.T.' That thing freaked me out.
