Kyle Stickles just won the hearts of every NFL fan on one of the biggest stages of the sport.
Amidst a pretty surprising first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, a young 13-year-old New York Jets fan stole the show with his infectious enthusiasm. When the Jets came up to make their No. 15 overall selection in Thursday night’s draft, Stickles was the one to make the announcement. Stickles was given the opportunity to announce the Jets pick thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as Stickles was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was 11.
And folks, Stickles made the most of his moment with an absolutely electric announcement of the No. 15 pick — linebacker Will McDonald out of Iowa State.
Kyle brought the ENERGY to this pick! Welcome aboard, @WILL_JUN1OR!!
