The NFL draft can be emotional—especially for players who were "not supposed to be here."
After being selected 12th overall by the Houston Texans on Thursday night, former Clemson Tigers star quarterback Deshaun Watson read a letter from his mother. It talked about "love, happiness and longtime success," drawing tears from the 21-year-old.
The letter closed with a 2013 rap line: "In the words of Drake, we made it. Love, Mom."
