Tommy Mellott, a quarterback from Montana State, experienced a whirlwind during the NFL Draft weekend. While initially hesitant about a draft party, he and his family prepared for the uncertainty that comes with the NFL draft, settling on a taco bar instead of traditional party food. Despite the tension in the air, he was surrounded by family and friends who provided support and encouragement as the rounds progressed.

Mellott's impressive pro day, where he ran a 4.39 40-yard dash and achieved a 41-inch vertical leap, caught the attention of scouts. Although he felt nervous while waiting, a call from the Las Vegas Raiders announced that he was selected as the 213th pick in the draft, marking a significant moment in his career.
