Rumor has it that in some countries, dad's tell stories around the camp fire of be drafted 22nd overall. I mean, what a crappy spot. To choose jack, I had to wade through: Casey Jacobsen, Kenny Thomas, Donnell Harvey and two guys with accent marks in their names that I'd never before seen. Congrats Jack!
