New Buccaneers Cornerback Benjamin Morrison Had The Best Draft Phone Call You'll Ever See

Notre Dame Cornerback Benjamin Morrison had dreams of going in 1st Round. But a hip surgery in October the cut his junior season short provided a big setback. It wasn't his first hip surgery either. He had one in December 2020 which needed a recovery time of nine months. Morrison also had shoulder surgery in March 2024. So you can say he's been through a lot in his football career. 

That dream of going in the 1st Round wasn't realized on Thursday night. But on Friday night, Buccaneers GM Jason Licht pulled the trigger on him with the 53rd pick in the Draft and called Morrison at his Draft Party and the call was everything you'd ever want out of a Draft call.

From the super ugly cry

to the saying "thank you for believing in me!" which would be enough to get Blutman to get choked up.

Then his voice gets some more base in it as he starts to regain his composure despite a tear literally hanging off his nose.

Then he fully snaps out of it and says "Tampa!" assertively and a whole draft party loses their mind.

And he's then swarmed and hugged by a bunch of family and friends. 

This whole thing from start to finish is the best draft call ever captured on video. I love it! Can't wait to see him in the pewter and red!
