Watching behind-the-scenes footage of NFL teams making the call to draft picks to tell them they’re being selected never gets old.
And that’s definitely true here with Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins, who’s now a member of the Arizona Cardinals after he was chosen in the first round on Thursday night.
Cards GM Steve Keim gets on the line with a very emotional Collins, whose draft party goes nuts. After he quiets them down, he tells Keim, “We’re gonna get a Super Bowl ring so [expletive] big on our finger that an [expletive] show dog wouldn’t be able to jump over it.”
Watch the whole thing, along with the moment on the other end of it when he heard his name called:
You will not watch a more amazing and emotional call than this.
