Lol…what a great story.
When it comes to every college football player and entry into the 2024 NFL Draft, you always dream of the day when your phone rings and your opponent becomes a franchise.But, umm… safety in California. Patrick McMorris Because when the Miami Dolphins called him to let him know they were taking him with a sixth-round pick, he cheerfully hung up. (Related: Super Bowl weekend is three days?! Say what you want about Roger Goodell, but his vision for the NFL schedule is flawless)
“I received a number of spam calls, but when I answered the phone and there was no response for a few seconds, I thought it was another call and hung up,” McMorris told reporters on Saturday. USA Today.
Fortunately, McMorris got a callback from the Dolphins and everything was fine from then on. And now, the two are sharing a great story about their first interaction.
A funny story with California safety Patrick McMorris: He had been getting spam calls lately, so when he got a call from a number the Dolphins didn’t recognize, he hung up for the first time after a few seconds of silence.
Luckily, the Dolphins came calling right away. They took him…

New Dolphins safety Patrick McMorris said he thought the call telling him he was selected No. 198 by the Dolphins was a spam call. So he did what we all do – hung up.

And to make this whole situation even better, the same thing happened again with another Miami draft candidate, USC wide receiver. Taj Washington.
