8. J-E-T-E. JETS!

The New York Jets had their fair share of picks in the 2017 NFL Draft but when they got to the 79th pick, things got weird. Former Jets fullback Tony Richardson had a bit of trouble with the spelling of their chant.

Under the bright lights, nerves may have gotten the best of Richardson as he proceeded to announce the Jets pick in the third round (see below).

To be fair, Tony Richardson took a lot of hits as a fullback and back in his day, helmets weren’t as durable as they are now. After all, he’s blocked for the likes of Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, Adrian Peterson and Thomas Jones. Those type of hits can take a real toll on the psyche.

On the bright side, Richardson was able to laugh about it in the end, which shows that he’s able to have a sense of humor and laugh at himself.
