Scooby Wright is ready to jump headfirst into the NFL. And into the pool, for that matter.

The Arizona linebacker was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the seventh round with the No. 250 overall pick on Saturday. He reacted to the news with a celebration for the ages: by spontaneously diving into the backyard family pool. Whilst fully clothed.

Wright, 21, is an excellent pass-rusher and a bruising tackler with an innate nose for the football. But questions about his ability to play in coverage as well as his health (knee and foot injuries limited him to just three games played in 2015) sent his draft stock tumbling.

Ultimately though, it’s hard to say any bad things about a guy who is that excited to play for the Browns. You go, Scooby.
