NFL hopeful pranked on draft day
Rutgers wideout Mohamed Sanu thought he was receiving the phone call he dreamed about his whole life during the NFL Draft only to find out he was the victim of a cruel prank.
The Rutgers wide receiver was watching Thursday night's first round closely when his phone rang and the voice on the other end, claiming to be from the Bengals, told him the team was about to select him with the 27th pick, SI.com reported Friday. Sanu's agent, Mike McCartney, immediately tweeted the news as the 22-year-old receiver — projected as a second- or third-round pick — began celebrating with family and friends. But the party came to an abrupt halt as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stepped to the podium at New York's Radio City Music Hall and announced Cincinnati had selected Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler. "This is a great kid, I guarantee you, and someone played a cruel joke on him," McCartney told SI.com. "It is unreal that someone would do that, but it happened." The Rutgers' star appeared to be taking the mean-spirited prank in stride Friday, writing on Twitter, "Thank God for giving me another day and another opportunity to chase my dream ... #thankfulandblessed." Sanu's fortunes are expected to turn around quickly with the second and third rounds getting underway Friday night at 7 p.m. ET. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/N...aft-day-042712 |

I read about that.
Honestly, big whoop. Sucks to be that kid. But a career playing a sport for potentially millions of dollars should soothe his soul. |

Dude should be elated he didn't get selected by Cincinnati.

Sanu is going to be a steal for somebody. Hell of a player.

Their rookie QB and WR were the biggest reason for their success on offense. That is certainly not on par with the Chiefs in 2010.

Cincy is still Cincy judging by their first round pick. Character issues mean nothing to them.

That's still a prank in poor taste. Probably the area code should have given it away.

No one looks good in that uni. Blessing in disguise for him.
Oh and it's Cincinnati. Blessing x2.

It's possible the Bengals just turned in the wrong card and are too embarrassed to admit it.
