On the night of the first round of the NFL draft, Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury became the talk of social media with a photo he had taken of his home.

It even inspired a Lego imitation.
While Kingsbury downplayed it at the time, but in an interview on Good Morning Football on Wednesday, he admitted he was going for some attention.
“I just wanted to make it as extra as possible,” he said.
He made sure to have multiple phones on the table, two monitors and even had the outside fireplace going for effects.
“I do think the fire, because it was 100 degrees and sunny outside, was a but much,” he said.
He would have even gone with more if he were given the opportunity. Because of the pandemic, he had to tone it down.
“The NFL only allowed us to have one person at the house or I might have had some people on the float swans in the back, and like a DJ, doing it big,” he joked. “There’s always next year.”
Actually, since he was at home for the draft only because of a pandemic, we’re hoping that there isn’t another opportunity, at least on draft night.
