The NFL draft is always a weird time of year. Without fail, there is always something that goes viral. The 2023 NFL Draft was no different, tough tamer when compared to previous years. There was the video of a player's dad slapping his son's girlfriend on the ass. Meanwhile, Twitter had a lot of fun watching Will Levis not get drafted in the first round. Away from the draft, but still in Kansas City, Travis Kelce was luging beers off one of his Super Bowl trophies.
However, it's not just the draftees who go viral. Sometimes it's journalists who are the ones grabbing the internet's attention. That's exactly what happened this year. In particular, one overlooked moment from this year's draft came before the picks even started to be announced, courtesy of the NFL Network's Briget Condon.
Condon Accidentally Says Carter Has A Big Dick
The moment happened during The NFL Network's pre-draft coverage on Thursday morning. Condon, who is a veteran reporter and has worked for The NFL Network since 2021, was covering the Seattle Seahawks per her assigned beat. At the moment of the unfortunate slip of the tongue, Condon was discussing Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter as a potential option for the Seahawks at #5. However, she, unfortunately, concluded her spiel by saying "big dick, big guy" about the 6"3, 314lbs player. Carter's draft stock appeared to tank somewhat after he was linked to the death of a teammate in January.

Thankfully for Condon, the Seahawks did not choose to draft Carter at #5. Instead, the Seahawks drafted Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon. However, Carter was still a top-ten pick, going four picks later at #9 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Carter was one of three Georgia defensive players the Eagles took in the draft, adding to the two Bulldogs defenders they took in the 2022 draft. Of course, Condon's error is one that hundreds of journalists have made over the years. There's nothing especially scandalous about the comment, it's just funny that it happened live on TV.
