NFL first-round draft pick Josh Allen had a very good reason why he couldn’t jump up and celebrate getting picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars: His son was on his lap watching “Monsters University”:
#Jaguars DE Josh Allen told local media he couldn’t jump up and celebrate when the Jags took him at 7 because he was watching Monsters University on his phone with his son, Wesley. Big week for Allen, who married his wife Kaitlyn last Thursday. pic.twitter.com/xCSFxZhaqj

And here he is talking to his new coaches and being a very good dad at the same time:

Allen could have gone pro last year, but he decided to go back to school *after* his son was born:
#Jaguars DE Josh Allen says if it weren’t for his son’s birth, he would have probably declared in 2018. But after son was born, Allen went back to school to become “a better person… a better man, a football player on top of that.”
