After an emotionally charged evening in Chicago Thursday night for the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 31 new rookies had been selected as the newest members of the NFL.
As we can imagine, there were some amazing rookie reactions, and celebrities, fans and new teammates got into the action as well.
