Paxton Lynch overcome with emotion after being selected No. 26 by Denver

The path to the NFL -- or any professional sport -- is an incredibly long and hard one. The odds of making it are astronomical, and the amount of hard work players put in to get to that point is impossible to calculate. So when the moment hits and the player finally makes it to the league, the range of motions can be broad.

For Paxton Lynch, it was an emotional moment with his family after the Denver Broncos traded up to pick him No. 26. There probably weren’t a lot of dry eyes in that room as Lynch celebrated. No matter what happens in his NFL career, he’ll have that incredible moment to remember forever.
