Former Auburn defensive lineman Marcus Harris admitted to feeling “anxious” as the third day of the 2024 NFL Draft got underway Saturday.

“Just ready to see what team I go to and what organization I can help win championships,” Harris told AL.com Saturday morning.

And in the case of Harris, the feelings of anxiousness continued for hours as the all-SEC defensive lineman didn’t hear his name called until minutes before 6 p.m., when the Houston Texans took him off the board with the 247th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fortunately for Harris, he was accompanied by a strong support system made up of family and friends, who gathered in his hometown of Montgomery to be together for the final day of the NFL Draft.

“It feels good just to have these people here to celebrate this moment,” Harris said. “I don’t know how I’ll react yet, so we’re going to see when that happens.”

Here’s an inside look at Harris learning he was being drafted by the Houston Texans with the 247th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft:
