Jaylen Waddle had no time for his family’s celebrations after being drafted No. 6 overall to the Miami Dolphins during the 2021 NFL Draft. On Thursday, in the early first round of this year’s NFL Draft, Waddle was selected by the Dolphins as the second wide receiver of the draft, and the 22-year-old became an instant meme with his lack of celebratory mood.
Waddle, already making our list of the 2021 NFL Draft’s best dressed players of the night, captured the hearts of football fans everywhere with his swift and hilarious exit from the waiting room, completely ditching his joyous family celebrating his special occasion in the process.
It’s such a stone-cold moment, one that Waddle is sure not to live down from his family in the years to come.
