This past Thursday night, Craig Nelson laid 32 hats out on a table. He only had to wait six picks to pluck the Indianapolis Colts lid from his kitchen as he watched his son, Quenton, achieve his dream of playing in the NFL. Mike McGlinchey, Durham Smthye, and Equanimeous St. Brown and their families partook in a similar celebration as their names were called over the weekend. A single phone call changed their lives forever.
McKay Schwenke was on the phone last Monday as well. He didn’t receive an update on his son’s recent tryout with the Atlanta Falcons; in fact, that wasn’t even the purpose of the call.
