Tommy Bohanon: 'Draft was stressful'

Tommy Bohanon has described the 2013 NFL Draft as "one of the most stressful days" of his life, as he prepares for his first off-season as an NFL player.

The New York Jets selected the fullback with the 215th overall pick in the seventh round last April.

The 23-year-old told the team's website: "The Draft was probably one of the most stressful days of my life just because you have teams that tell you, 'Hey, we like you in the fourth round', 'We like you in the fifth round', things like that, but then your name doesn't get called and you're just sitting there waiting.

"You have all this family here, you have your friends, and they want to celebrate with you, but it's kind of like 'Well, I don't know what's happening'.

"So it's really a stressful day, but once you hear your name called you forget about everything."

Bohanon featured in all 16 games in his rookie season, finishing the campaign with 62 rushing yards and 69 receiving yards.
