April 27 is a day Mike Gesicki should remember for the rest of his life – a moment when the world stood still as he was being selected by the Miami Dolphins, an NFL career becoming reality.

“When I was told I was being picked, I just reminisced about everything I had gone through and everything leading up to that moment,” he said. “I’ve always envisioned myself in that moment. It was something I’ve been dreaming about my whole life, and it was a great experience to live that moment.”
