Lions pick Jamal Agnew shares moment with grandmother in hospice

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Jamal Agnew's draft day left him shaking and speechless. The fifth-round pick of the Detroit Lions was excited to find out his professional home, but it mattered even a little bit more to him because his grandmother was able to see it.

Agnew said his grandmother, Rosario Dorie, is in hospice care, so the Agnew family moved their draft-watch celebration to her house so she could be part of the festivities. When the Lions took the cornerback with pick No. 165, Agnew couldn't believe it.

And his grandmother got to see it.
