For every player who enters his name in the NFL Draft, the dream is the same: the welcome-to-the-team phone call, the nine notes of the “The Pick Is In” chime, and then their name attached to an NFL team for all the world to see. No matter whether the name comes at the beginning of Night 1 or the end of Night 3, the end result is the same: an NFL team thinks enough of the player’s services to bring them into the fold.
A selection in the draft is the culmination of a lifetime of hard work, a moment of celebration for the player and his family.
