The 2019 NFL Draft’s third and final day kicked off in Nashville Saturday afternoon, with the New England Patriots looking to add some quality depth to their already-strong draft class.
With their fourth-round selection (sixth of the draft), the Patriots selected offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt out of the University of Arkansas.
Watching draftees receive the call from their new clubs always is great, with reactions covering a wide range of emotions. Froholdt was with his family when he got the call from New England, and his emotional response was telling as to how much this means to him. Check it out:

Froholdt should fit right in with the Patriots’ versatile offensive line, as the big man can play both center and guard. Want more proof of his versatility? The Danish lineman played defensive tackle as a freshman at Arkansas.
The Patriots probably had some pretty good info on Froholdt, considering he played under now-Patriots assistant Bret Bielema.
Froholdt is the second Denmark native ever to be selected in the NFL Draft.
