Every year, the NFL draft serves as a showcase dedicated to the fulfillment of lifelong dreams of playing in the NFL. But, in the case of Cardinals rookie Paris Johnson Jr., the night almost became one for the books for a reason that nearly caused him to miss his big moment.
Arizona shared a tweet Monday night featuring a behind-the-scenes video of Johnson’s hilarious retelling of the moments leading up to his selection at pick No. 6. After scenes of the former Ohio State standout’s post-selection celebration briefly flashed on-screen, the offensive lineman dropped a doozy of an admission to begin his story.
“I literally went to the bathroom,” Johnson said as he walked down a hallway inside Union Station Kansas City, the site of this year’s draft.
