The Packers made Louisville corner Jaire Alexander a first-round draft pick, the highest-picked player from his school this year. Big night! With the spotlights on him and cameras rolling, he made his way through the media schedule, and then —

Midway through @JaireAlexander's interview, his college teammate @Lj_era8 was selected with the last pick in the 1st round.

— college teammate Lamar Jackson went No. 32 to the Ravens, just when it looked like the Heisman winner might fall out of the first round. And for a moment at least, Alexander lost all interest in his own biggest night.

“My boy Lamar!”

And here’s Lamar watching the above video:

THIS is why football is so great. Lamar Jackson was overcome with emotion watching his former teammate @JaireAlexander's reaction to his selection in the #NFLDraft. ❤️ @Lj_era8 pic.twitter.com/zziVxb1W11 — The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) April 27, 2018

Alexander, like Jackson, was already one of our favorite players in this draft class. There are reasons for this opinion, but I only need to share one for you to fully agree. Please watch this GIF of him prancing like an enchanted wilderness elf in celebration of a pretty good play against Wake Forest. Prancing!

Thank you, gentlemen.
