The New England Patriots selected Ronnie Perkins, a defensive end out of Oklahoma, with the 96th pick in the NFL Draft.

Underrated part of this clip is the child wearing red who appears completely flabbergasted at the sequence of events unfolding only to be explained a soggy shirt is a small price to pay for a lifetime memory.
