NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell walked to the podium several times on Thursday night to announce the names of the first round NFL Draft picks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He underwent surgery<\/a> on his back about three weeks ago, ESPN reported. While Goodell has “recovered well,” and did embrace draftees on stage, he seemed to mostly shy away from his signature bear hug when he was approached by the draftees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Titans<\/a> shored up their offensive line by selecting JC Lantham at the No. 7 overall pick.<\/p>\n

After hugging his family and friends in the green room, Lantham walked toward the stage, put on a Titans hat and made his way toward Goodell for an embrace.<\/p>\n

However, Lantham, who is listed at 6 feet. 6 inches tall and 360 pounds, appeared to miss the memo on Goodell’s recent procedure and decided to give the commissioner a huge bear hug, which resulted in Goodell’s feet leaving the ground.<\/p>\n

Some fans took notice of the big hug and shared their reactions on social media.<\/p>\n

The NFL<\/a> invited 13 prospects to attend the first round.<\/p>\n

Detroit is hosting this year’s draft. The second and third rounds are scheduled for Friday, and the remaining four rounds conclude Saturday.<\/p>\n
