Video: Joe Andruzzi's speech and tribute to Boston at NFL Draft
Andruzzi was supposed to announce the Patriots pick at 29, but they obviously traded out of the spot when Minnesota offered them a king's ransom.
Either way, the NFL continued to hold the tribute to Boston at that time slot in a very emotional and classy gesture.
"We're proud of you, Joe" said Goodell about Andruzzi, who was photographed carrying a victim from the scene of the bombing.
Andruzzi's teared up giving his speech and afterwards "Sweet Caroline" starting playing through the speakers as the fans in attendance sang along. I have to say, this was probably one of my favorite and most well done tributes after the bombing.
Thank you NFL.
