Sorry, I had to use that alliterative headline, it made me feel almost like a real writer for a second. Now onto the meat and potatoes.
Ahh, the NFL draft. Football still reigns king, and even their draft has the appeal of other sports only have during the playoffs.
While this was an especially weird draft with the whole Sanders storyline, one of the weirder things that happened was not draft-related.
Everyone knows the family cameras, where they set up a live feed showing the houses and parties of the athletes hoping to be drafted. Everyone saw Shedeur’s, Quinn Ewers had about a million animal heads on his walls, but none of these were the craziest, in my opinion.
Usually, a big alternative storyline is constructed about family or girlfriends. We already learned way too much about Travis Hunter’s girlfriend, but this year’s wild moment was centered around the son of Saints first-round pick Kelvin Banks.
Immediately after his dad was drafted, the young buck threw up all over himself on live TV. Obviously, he is a literal child, but the internet went wild, making jokes relating to the child and saying if their dad made millions, they would do the same, and even roasting the Saints, saying if they had to go watch that team play, they would puke too.
All in all a very entertaining draft mostly because of Mel freaking out about the fall of Sanders. I hope the kid is all good, and best of luck to Mr. Banks in NOLA.
