Montrell Washington, taken at pick 162 (round 5), admitted that he “wanted to cry” when he got the call from the Denver Broncos.
The wide receiver displayed a very respectful and down-to-earth approach for the game and the people around him — a lot of “Yes, sir,” “No, sir” weaved into answers that expressed gratitude, humility, and shock.
He is the eighth Samford Bulldog in the school’s history to be drafted by the NFL.
Despite knowing this, Washington’s decision to play for Samford didn’t affect his vision of his future.
