Pat O'Donnell Surprised Phone Rang On Draft Day

Like any NFL draft hopeful, Pat O’Donnell has plenty of confidence in his ability to play pro football.

But when the phone rang?

“I was actually surprised,” he said.

The Chicago Bears were on the other line, making him one of several in-state players selected last week in the final four rounds. O’Donnell, a Hurricanes punter and former Palm Beach Central High standout, was taken in the sixth round with the 191st pick overall.

“I think there’s so much talent across the country,” he said, calling it a “huge honor” to hear his name called.
