Over the weekend a number of football players saw all their years of hard work pay off and had their lives changed forever when they heard their names get called at the 2021 NFL draft.
One of those players was Alabama long snapper Thomas Fletcher, who was picked by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round. How he found at that news was pretty awesome.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule called Fletcher to tell him they had just selected him with the No. 222 pick of the draft. Fletcher, though, thought the call was about becoming an undrafted free agent.
His reaction to finding out he was indeed selected by the Panthers was so good:
Amazing.
