Montravius Adams has unforgettable draft day

The Packers’ new defensive tackle not only was drafted into the NFL on Friday, but he and his girlfriend also welcomed their first child, Montravius Jr., into the world earlier in the day.

The Auburn senior was actually at the hospital in Warner Robbins, Ga., with his family when he received the call from the Packers, who drafted him with their third-round pick (93rd overall).

“There’s no words I can say. A lot of blessings,” Adams said. “Just coming from me getting my son and the Packers calling me – I’m just thankful for the blessing.”

Adams said the couple had been at the hospital since roughly 4 a.
