Once again, I reiterate: Behind-the-scenes videos from players being drafted by NFL teams are the best.
This one involves North Carolina receiver Josh Downs, a third-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts that is part of the top class in the 2023 NFL Draft. Camera were there for the moment he heard from the Colts over the phone, followed by him taking in hearing his name called on TV that Friday.
His reaction? So many tears and telling the Colts they won’t regret their decision. This is what it’s all about. There’s also a shot of his friends and family using their phones to capture the moment while he stands there, drinking it all in:
