Brian Branch was a stellar member of the Alabama secondary during his time with the Crimson Tide. He was projected by many to be a first-round selection, but ultimately slid just a few picks into the second round and was drafted by the Detroit Lions.
After having his name called, Branch was sat down and played a pre-recorded video message from his brother and was nearly moved to tears.
His brother talks about how his father, who passed away, would be proud of him and how strong of a support system Branch has as he enters this next chapter of his football career.
