Thursday night is one that former Houston football defensive lineman Payton Turner will never forget in his life.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stepped onto the stage in Cleveland with the New Orleans Saints pick in hand and announced it to the nation: with the 28th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Saints chose Turner.
“It’s a dream come true,” Turner told reporters following the selection on Thursday night. “It’s really special to me. I am on cloud nine.”
