So the Kansas City Piolis drafted a kicker with the final pick of the draft, and they got a guy who was a double major in finance and real estate with a minor in computer science at South Carolina.
Ryan Succop -- pronounced "suck-up" -- said a few days ago that "he would love to be drafted" but that he was realistic about his chances. Little did he know he'd be worlds more famous than Mr. Penultimate, Dan Gronkowski, or most of the other seventh-rounders for that matter.
In addition to kicking well lately and getting himself drafted, Succuop is a smartie. He also was reportedly one of the most popular players in the Gamecocks' locker room, despite being a kicker. And now, Succop is famous.
Congrats, young man on your new fame.
