It’s a moment no draft pick will ever forget, getting the phone call from an NFL team, letting them know they’re about to be selected.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the ones to give that moment to Sam Houston State cornerback Zyon McCollum, after they traded up into the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft to snag the athletic defender who dominated the NFL Scouting Combine.
McCollum is a perfect fit for Tampa Bay’s defense, and has the athleticism to become a shutdown corner at the next level.
See what happened when McCollum got the call from Bucs head coach Todd Bowles during this year’s draft:
"I was born ready, coach."
