An incredible, full circle moment happened in the NFL Draft.

Will Anderson Jr., a former Alabama standout, surprised his former teammate, Dallas Turner, with a video call to congratulate him on getting drafted to the Minnesota Vikings. Turner was expected to go in the top 10 on Thursday, but he came off the board at No. 17 overall. Turner surprised Anderson in the 2023 draft as the native Georgian went No. 3 overall to the Houston Texans.

Anderson told Turner to go and show the world who he is in the National Football League.
