The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and two Virginia Cavaliers heard their names called. First up came Juan Thornhill, picked up at No. 63 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. The defensive back was surrounded by family and friends when he got the news he’d be going with KC’s first second-round pick.
That excitement was present when his phone rang to alert him that he’d be going to Kansas City, as it appeared the Chiefs’ front office and head coach Andy Reid had trouble hearing Thornhill over the cheering.
Cornerback Tim Harris was the second Wahoo to go in the draft with San Francisco taking the tough Cavalier in the sixth round.
