JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Devin Lloyd wasn’t intending on raising NFL commissioner Roger Goodell off his feet when he hugged him after getting his name called as a first-round choice for the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday night.
But he wasn’t going to disobey his mother.
“I just told Devin to make sure he picked up Roger Goodell off the floor,” Ronyta Johnson stated. “I didn’t know he was going to pick him up like that.”
Lloyd did exceed and beyond his mother’s objective. He covered Goodell in a bear hug, leaning back, and transporting him off the flooring by a number of feet.

Lloyd stated his mother made her demand quickly after the Jags chosen the previous Utah linebacker with the 27th general choice. So he had just a few fast minutes to determine what he was going to do.
“I had no plans on picking him until right after I got the call [from the Jaguars],” he stated. “It just came up.”
The essential concern in all of this, however, is: Why did Lloyd’s mother desire him to get Goodell? The factor is, remarkably, quite easy.
“I just wanted to see if he could,” Johnson stated.
