When former Jordan High School stand out John Ross was selected as the ninth overall pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft some of his biggest cheers came from none other than Snoop Dogg.
Remembering the young man who played in his youth league, Snoop expressed joy at Ross’ selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in a heartfelt video posted on Instagram. The video was picked up by Hot New Hip Hop.
“I remember the day I met you. You was running through that little parking lot at Compton high school, just a little kid learning to play football. Now look at you now to see about to be drafted to the NFL. I’m so proud of you.”
