Oscar Delp was overshadowed a bit at the NFL Draft by his furry friend.
The former University of Georgia tight end Delp was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the third round on Friday. Delp went with the No. 73 overall pick to New Orleans.
Georgia Football posted a great video to their X page of the moment that Delp learned he had been drafted. However, Delp’s dog quickly became the real star of the video.
As Delp heard his name called, he leapt up off the couch and embraced with his family and friends. Sensing its opportunity, Delp’s pupper climbed up onto the now-empty couch and made itself at home.
Here is the priceless video.

The Internet could not get enough of Delp’s four-legged pal. Many commented online with praise for the dog over its impressive opportunism.
The dog just wanted them off the couch so he could lay down.

Thank goodness all those people stood up and the dog got its sofa back.

I’m really happy for the dog getting a spot on the couch more than anything https://t.co/7rul05qvdY

Dog literally did the Spongebob meme and then returned to claim a seat on the couch.

Star. https://t.co/tz4uDASQ1b
Delp, 22, won a national championship with Georgia as a freshman in 2022 and caught 20 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown as a senior in 2025. But what the people really want is some bio information about Delp’s dog, who has officially displaced Bill Belichick’s pooch as the biggest viral canine star in NFL Draft history.
