With the 2026 NFL Draft completed, we have seen plenty of great moments and reactions to selections over the course of three days. With the emotions running high for so many prospects around the nation, it is abundantly clear how much this moment truly means to each one of the 257 selected and the undrafted free agents as well. It is always fun to see the family reactions to each pick, both on live television and on social media as they come out.
One of the reactions that came up on the official NFL page was that of New Orleans Saints fourth-round pick Jeremiah Wright out of Auburn. With his family and friends surrounding him, he had a heartfelt moment with his mother right before the pick was made, as she gave him words of encouragement following the call.

These are always beautiful moments to see from around the league, as players find their big opportunity to make their name known and get on an NFL field to prove they belong with the big dogs at the highest level.
Wright has worked hard during his time at Auburn, proving time and time again to be a reliable offensive lineman with plenty of upside, and the Saints took their shot on him, looking to give him opportunities alongside some other exceptional linemen.
