The NFL draft is the one day of the year when family members and significant others of players go viral for all the wrong reasons.
On Thursday night, Notre Dame’s Joe Alt went viral immediately after he got on the screen.
When he was picked by the Chargers with the fifth overall pick in the NFL Draft, fans made jokes about Alt appearing to be a typical Notre Dame jock.
He’s absolutely one of the first guys in the coaches office to lay his jersey down so Rudy could be active.

Alt’s girlfriend also went viral when her awkward on-screen reaction left fans scratching their heads.

Hey Joe Alt’s girlfriend, blink twice if you feel you are in danger.
