'She ain't lying', say NFL fans as Draft pick's 'wholesome' mom goes viral after hilarious answer to question on live TV | D1KM2M3 | 2024-04-27 02:08:01
FANS were in awe of an NFL draft pick's mom's comical answer to a question on live television.
The sequence took place during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Detroit.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr with the No. 17 pick in the draft.
After the pick, ESPN interviewed Thomas's parents, Brian Sr. and Sondra.
Reporter Laura Rutledge asked Brian Sr. what to make of the memorable moment.
"It's awesome. That's all I can tell you. It's awesome, it's an awesome feeling," he told Rutledge.
Then, Rutledge asked the NFL mom, "Sondra, how far has this family come?"
That caused Sondra to provide a literal answer to the question.
"We came from Baton Rouge, Louisiana," she answered.
Rutledge quickly changed the subject after the awkward moment.
NFL fans, meanwhile, were in hysterics over Thomas's mother's answer.
"Rutledge knew what she asked, she just wanted to let them know," one wrote.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> "Something so wholesome about the response," another commented.
"She ain't lying," a third stated.
The Jaguars originally had the No. 17 overall pick and traded down six spots to draft Thomas Jr.
The 6-foot-3, 209-pound speeder will enter a Jacksonville wide receiver group that will be without Calvin Ridley, who bolted to the division rival Tennessee Titans in free agency.

The Jacksonville wideout will join a team led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
And Thomas Jr. will be part of a wide receiver group that includes Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Zay Jones.
