I just talked to Bruce Davis, who was elated to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. He was picked in the third round at No. 88 overall. He said he got the call from a scout at about 8:30 in the morning. He said he was half asleep and half watching the draft. He stayed up late Saturday night talking with friends and stayed at a friend’s after feeling frustrated since he wasn’t picked in either of the first two rounds. But when he got the call, none of that mattered. Then he called his dad and then his mom.
“There was a loud uproar of people,” Davis said. “Everyone was screaming. Im screaming. I’m running around the house with my shirt off. All I’ve got on is a pair shorts, and I’m running around knocking on doors.”
