Young Seahawks fan reacts to Stephen Sullivan being drafted - recognizes LSU

Reminds me: the first college game I ever saw was Herschel Walker as a freshman in the Sugar Bowl.

I asked my grandmother who was our team. She said LSU. I asked if we have a Herschel Walker. Been an LSU fan ever since and finally got our Walker in Fournette, even though the game has changed.

Bottom line: I thought Georgia was a dominant program when I was a kid and they have not been a champion since 1980!

From the best program in college, LSU.

That kid’s natural exuberance reminds me so much of a great childhood before we become all cynical about the world around us.

Is Curry just so famous that kids naturally pronounce Stephen as Steffen these days?? lol

I know that Sullivan does in fact pronounce his name differently but i got the vibe that the kid didnt really know who he was yet some how didnt call him Steven which....almost everyone would do in that situation.

All this rarely if ever happens

Reminds me of seeing who the saints picked when I was a kid. I had a buddy with one of those ginormous satellites that caught ESPN but most of us had to wait for the paper to find out. It was exciting.....now, well, we pick Jimbob Whatshisname from podunk USA to be the back up to last years first pick.

"from the greatest team in college football now- LSU"

I like this kid.

Poor kid going to have a hard time in life to act like that for a 7th round pick.

Kids get excited over small things? shocker.

I think the “ph” throws some ppl off, versus say “Steven” but that might be it.

They wanted Sullivan bad and made that move and traded in order to make sure they got him. Them making that trade in order to pick him says alot about just how bad they wanted him in their organization. That's awesome for him bc you know for a fact that they see something in him by doing what they had to do in order to make sure he was theirs for sure. They may not have gotten him once free agency opened up and it was his decision on where he wanted to go play based on the offers he received after the draft was over...and I'm sure he would have had alot of offers. I wish the saints would have gotten him had he become a free agent bc he would be a hell of a tight end in our offense. He's going to surprise some people in the nfl. He's going to be a weapon as a pass catching tight end and even a red zone reciever. Hell, you could even hand him the ball in an end around type of play with his speed and athleticism. He's just so versatile and can do so much with his size and athleticism. He will be a player for a while in the league and it won't surprise me at all if he ends up starting for the seahawks sometime down the road...and I'm not just saying that bc he is a home state guy from LSU. That was one of the best picks and moves in the later rounds of the draft for sure and I have a feeling that the Seahawks got an absolute steal in Sullivan where they drafted him. Awesome pick.
