Getting a call from an NFL team on draft night is the moment every college football player dreams about.
Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara got his call from the Green Bay Packers on Friday night when GM Brian Gutekunst made him the 94th overall pick in the 2020 draft.
The official Twitter account of Cincinnati football shared the video of the moment.
“Thank you guys so much, I’m so ready to be a Packer,” Deguara said on the phone call.
Surrounding family members and friends, desperately trying to hold back screams while Deguara was on the call, burst into celebration soon after it was over, creating an incredible moment.
Deguara finished his college career as Cincinnati’s all-time leader in catches by a tight end (92). Packers coach Matt LaFleur plans to make him the offense’s go-to player at H-back, playing a versatile role at tight end and fullback.
