Texas DB Ryan Watts had to wait longer than any of the Pittsburgh Steelers draft picks. But getting the phone call – you ready to be a Steeler – is sweet no matter if it’s in the first or sixth round. Watts was the team’s final selection of the draft, the 195th overall pick, and the Longhorns’ Twitter account shared video of his and his family’s reaction.

You can hear Mike Tomlin on speakerphone asking Watts if his family was with him.
