On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Eagles used pick No. 21 to finally get Carson Wentz a target. Many experts felt that Justin Jefferson was the obvious choice, but the Eagles instead chose to grab TCU speedster Jalen Reagor. The surprising move is sure to make some fans scratch their heads, but his reaction on Twitter should win over even the most stubborn members of the famously irritable Philadelphia fanbase.

Reagor seemed to express plenty of gratitude at the fact that he's now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The draft can be as stressful as it is exciting for young players. The relief of finally getting selected after a lifetime of dedication to the sport has to be unimaginable, so it's no wonder so many players share some tears, like Reagor did with his emoji.

The tweet is just so open and real. Eagles fans have to love selecting a guy who's willing to show some emotion about joining their team. There's nothing arrogant about it. It's just a guy who's overcome with feeling after becoming an Eagle, realizing the next morning that, yeah...that actually happened. He later expressed how he's ready to start contributing.

Reagor may have been a risky pick, but his tweets show his heart's going to be in it. At the end of the day, that's the most important thing you want in a new player.
