Shepherd Hill alum Chris Lindstrom is drafted in 1st round by the Atlanta Falcons

[@smurf6901]

The dads reaction melted my heart. All those practices, games, and drives him and mom made finally paid off.

[@5ledan]

I actually thought the brother’s reaction (or I assume is his brother) was cooler. No sibling jealousy...just pure happiness for his bro

[@syedsermadali8519]

yes so true

[@ectyka]

This family has so much love for each other. God bless and congratulations!

[@noabiudole9906]

3:15 That cross by the dad bought tears to my eyes

[@tonyh4870]

Great family!!! Welcome to ATL Protect that QB

[@jesseowensrobinsonjr.2460]

I'm very happy to have you, with the Falcons, RISE UP and protect Matt Ice. Matt get NFL MVP this year is because of you guys up front. Protect Matt. Again Happy to have you. I hope we got you and we did.

He was his coach in highschool and played for the cheifs i think

[@RealDeal6520]

For us Falcon Fans this hits a lil different. His mom passed away in 2019😢. Super glad she got to see her son make it to the NFL. RIP Dawn Lindstrom

[@Sunflowercircle77]

what??? IM so sorry to hear that. She had such a joyful spirit. I know she will be missed.

[@devout666]

It’s amazing watching these in the UK, there is no such thing as a draft and I love the way the families get to join in the start of his ‘journey’. Love the Mum! Seems a grounded lad, hope he does well.

[@KM-br7oq]

Man just the nervousness that his mom was showing was enought to make me get a lump in my throat. What a moment for the family. ❤️

[@ChiggidyChuck]

I played one year of football at shepherd hill. Chris Sr. was my coach. I wasnt much of a player but coach Lindstrom was a great man and a tremendous leader. I remember Chris as a little kid running around at a few of our practices. You could see he loved the game even then when he was only 8 or 9 years old or whatever. Falcons fans trust me you got a good one

[@guap_capo]

Bros now all pro player

[@pauldurant1067]

That pure joy is priceless

[@Sunflowercircle77]

This made me so emotional. The WHOLE thing. My goodness! What a close, beautiful family!

[@joeyreyrey5827]

Wow! That's what I call a WIN for the entire family.....when they can all feel tremendous joy at the success of one of their members. Hope he turns out to a good one for the Falcons as well.

[@toreal8838]

[@carlostharealest5637]

So Awesome to see this, I've been a huge fan of Chris because I liked Boston College and Georgia Tech I'm a Georgia Native and for my home team to draft this guy it was a beautiful thing to see, He's a tough interior lineman with great up size to plug and start from day one protecting his fellow alumni Matt Ryan. This was a great moment for him and his family U can tell that his parents really grounded him to become who he is today I just love to see family have love an unconditional support for their kids, Welcome to Atlanta Chris Hope to see u flourish in my city Riseup!!! 💯♥🏈🙏

[@aalekhine5109]

[@dabig_sho6684]

I wanted to be in the NFL when I was young. I realized in 6th grade when I never got to play that my dream would probably never come true. What a feeling these guys must have. Don’t have to wake up at 5am each day and work I’m construction. Count your blessings

[@chrism5766]

The media and all the experts are so critical of the picks the falcons made in the first round. But they don't understand Matt ryan is a surgeon with the ball if he has time to throw. So now with getting our O line shored up the falcons will rise up!

[@kuaci6522]
