The Titans traded up to acquire a high pick and selected Revis in the second round of last year's draft in Kansas City.

“One time I brought the card and they didn't want to film it. I don't know why,” Reavis recalled. “… [When he didn’t get picked in the first round] We were like, “Right, let's finish this show and go back to the hotel.”

“I think there was a line of Shake Shack burgers waiting for me. I was celebrating. I think I ate four of them and went to bed. I was pissed and ate them,” he said with a laugh.

He did not attend the second round in person.
