WATCH: Scooby Wright jumps into pool with clothes on after he's drafted



Finally, after waiting to hear his name for nearly three days, Scooby Wright III entered the NFL. The Browns, with the 250th pick in the draft, took the former Arizona linebacker (not a wide receiver, shockingly).

Not only does Wright now officially own a top 10 NFL name, but he also owns the most impressive draft celebration of 2016, though Chris Jones' monstrous hug also ranks up there.

Wright's next stop is Cleveland, but he made a quick detour before heading out. Luckily, ESPN's camera caught Wright's celebration, which involved a pool and some final proof thathis knee and foot are completely healthy.

Due to injuries, Wright appeared in only three games this past season. He's a natural tackler, but might suffer if asked to serve as a defender in coverage. Still, despite Wright's limitations, CBS Sports NFL analyst Pete Prisco loves the late-round selection, giving the Browns an A+:
Team captain with great instincts and tremendous production at MLB despite below-average pass coverage ability. Likely a future starting two-down LB and special teams contributor.

Hopefully, someone captured the Browns' response to Wright's response. After all, it's been a long time since someone has been THAT excited to become a Cleveland Brown.

Well, not that long (see: Johnny Manziel).
