The behind-the-scenes video involves UNC receiver Josh Downs, a third-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2023 NFL Draft. Cameras were there for the moment he heard from the Colts over the phone, followed by him taking in hearing his name called on TV that Friday. His reaction? So many tears and telling the Colts they won’t regret their decision. (USA Today)
