Cam Ward day at no. 1
Leaving the school, Ward did not have a single offer from an FBS school. He had to start his university trip to the University of embodied speech, working with diligence to have the opportunity to play in Washington state, then transfer to Miami again last season.
So, although it was presumed that Ward would go first in the Titans of Tennessee Thursday evening, the official choice had the Hurricanes emotional product during his interview on the stage of Green Bay.
“I just thank God, guy,” said Ward, fighter through tears. “The hard work that I put myself through and just the incredible work ethics that I have. I always have faith.”

When asked by Molly McGrath d’Espn about the emotion she heard in her voice, Ward replied why it was.
“I would just say the little child in me who wanted it,” he replied.
Will Campbell “would die” for the patriots
The fourth overall choice of draft was the offensive platform of LSU Star Will Campbell, who, we hope, will be the blind protector of Drake Maye as long as the teammates of the Patriots of New England.
Campbell came out on the draft scene with a brilliant smile and his patriot hat before giving a few words about his feelings after hearing his name called. When he was asked what was behind his smile, he said: “It’s all the hard work”, but he cut himself, because he felt the emotion coming to his face.
The crowd gave him a strong acclamation when he worked to get his prosecution emotions.
“I worked all my life to be here to be called my name by a franchise like New England. It means everything for me,” continued Campbell.
If this first joy was not strong enough, Campbell had everyone, not only fans of Patriots, loving his answer when asked what New England can expect from him right away.
“I’m going to fight and die to protect them with everything I got,” he replied.

Kelvin Banks Jr. Share a special moment with mom
If you knew the story of Kelvin and Monica Banks, you will understand why the first could not stop crying at home, surrounded by friends and family, when he kissed his mother after the Saints of New Orleans took him ninth in the general classification.
Monica Banks has fought against health problems since the year of her son’s first year in Texas, and he came to the point where she was placed in palliative care. But when doctors withdrew his gallbladder, his health began to see a positive trend in normal.
Thus, the celebration was more than Kelvin Banks heading towards the NFL, and it clearly showed because he had to put the hat of the saints on his face even after their embrace because of how much he cried.
22 seconds of Malaki Starks with Commissioner Goodell
The NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, likes to greet each recruit when they get their name called the evening, and sometimes these celebrations turn into him the ground.
Starks did it when the Baltimore Ravens called him late Thursday evening, but the embrace never stopped. Starks became clearly emotional and Goodell spoke.
Maxwell Hairston = good teammate
The Buffalo Bills called the Kentucky corner with the 30th choice in total to reach their ranks, ending a three -hour expectation to hear its name called Tour 1.
But what Hairston did before hearing his name called has become viral on social networks – he congratulated each perspective taken before him in the green room of the NFL draft.
When it was finally the time to shine, he could not hold back tears when he hugged his father. As Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports said, Hairston is a “special person”, and the city of Buffalo is sure to see this.
Mike Green waterworks
The Marshall product was one of the gross emotions on Friday evening, while the second day of the draft began. In the second round, the Ravens called its name, and each program showed a joyful family and a green crying in a living room – a scene that we saw several times in the draft of the NFL.
The herd shared the words that the director general of the Ravens Eric Decosta and the head coach John Harbaugh told him in this emotional period.
The controversy revolved around Green after two distinct sexual assault allegations would have made it removed from their advice. The Ravens explained their choice of green at a press conference, saying that in -depth investigations had been carried out and that they were confident in the person they had written.

Cam Skattebo cannot believe it
Day 3, there were still impact players on Draft’s board. In fact, many will say that the 4-7 towers are the place where the teams really win the project because they find value in their selections.
The New York giants went with the Arizona State Running Back Skattebo with their selection of fourth round, which caught the favorite of fans whose confidence radiates each touch of football.
When the programs cut in his family home, where they learned the news, Skattebo continued to shake up the head from top to bottom because he could not understand the hats of the Giants on his head. Again, the dream is made is a powerful thing.
And Skattebo knew how to tackle the giant fans base, when he broke out his Michael Strahan n ° 92 jersey so that all of them see them.
Benjamin Morrison’s emotional promise in Bucs
To conclude, perhaps the best day of draft day was for Morrison in the second round, because the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay brought the Notre Dame Cornerback into the Giron.
Head coach Todd Bowles played with his father, Daryl, so the connection is already there. But the Bucs did not expect to hear Morrison so moving when he made the phone.
“Thank you for believing in me,” said Morrison with tears flowing on his face.
“Dude, I’m not going to drop you down. I promise you, guy,” said Morrison to train Bowles. “Thank you so much.”
If you are never wondering how much being written means, regardless of sport, look at Morrison on this telephone call, which he will never forget.
