One of the best moments any football player will experience comes on draft day when they get a call from either a head coach, general manager or owner, letting them know that they’ve made it to the NFL.
Tutu Atwell got that feeling on Friday night when the Los Angeles Rams selected him 57th overall in the second round. The small and speedy receiver gives Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford another weapon on offense, even if he won’t be asked to start right away.
McVay let Atwell know he’s going to be a Ram, sharing the good news on the phone after Los Angeles sent in its second-round pick. Listen to the call from McVay below.
"Watching you work with Stafford is gonna be fun man."
