A New York Giants fan was quite, quite livid bout the Philadelphia Eagles drafting Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Eagles picked 10th, with the Giants set to pick 11th. The Giants didn’t even end up picking 11th; they traded that pick to the Chicago Bears (who used the pick to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields). But that trade hadn’t been made at the time of the Eagles’ pick.
Clearly, this fan badly wanted the Giants to use the pick on Smith, and it made him even angrier that a division rival picked the Heisman Trophy winner before the Giants got the chance.
So, the frustration is understandable… but not to the level that this guy displayed.
The fan kicked the wall from his chair a couple of times, before standing up and punching two holes in the wall. A woman at the house (presumably his significant other) was understandably quite unhappy.
Warning: NSFW language.
Sheesh, dude! It’s one draft pick, and the Giants have won two of the last 14 Super Bowls.
Additionally, the draftniks ended up very much liking the Giants’ draft anyway.
Patience (and perhaps some anger management).
