Watch the moment the Tampa Bay Buccaneers told Graham Barton he would be a first-round pick.

Every college football player dreams of the moment they get the call, an NFL front office letting them know they’re going to play the game they love at the professional level.

Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton got that call on Thursday night.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Barton with the 26th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, making him the third Blue Devil since 1987 to hear his name called on the first day.

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht and head coach Todd Bowles got on the phone and let Barton know he’d be a member of the organization. Check out his reaction below.

Barton also heard from former first-round pick Laken Tomlinson, another Duke offensive lineman, after the historic selection.
